The CLA CONFAB IS THE PREMIER MONTHLY GATHERING IN CHICAGO TO SHOWCASE
WHAT'S HOT IN LITERACY. As we continue to envision what a 100%
literate CHICAGO looks like, the CONFAB WILL BRING TOGETHER SPEAKERS
ACROSS OUR MEMBER NETWORK AND THE CITY TO SHARE TOP-level highlights
from their work, connect around shared goals, and work toward
collaborative solutions to the persisting gaps in LITERACY FACING OUR
CITY TODAY.This summer, we'll be exploring the theme of EXCELLENCE IN
LITERACY EDUCATION with our final CONFAB ON ADMINISTRATORS AS
LITERACY LEADERS defined as e_ngaging in activities related to
building a school culture that promotes and supports literacy across
content areas, such as leading literacy initiatives and providing
necessary resources for effective instruction._
Join us as we hear about great programs from member LEADERS UChicago
Impact [https://uchicagoimpact.org], Innovare
[https://www.innovaresip.com/], the Danielson Group
[https://danielsongroup.org/], and Civitas Education Partners
[https://www.civitasedpartners.org/]. We'll also welcome back Dr.
Jane Fleming, Director of the Department of LITERACY AT Chicago
Public Schools (CPS) to share an overview of the department's new
five-year vision.
We'll spend the last 30 minutes building on our collaborative work
over the last two quarters in small working group conversations about
how we can collectively work together to impact literacy across
Chicago.
