Marvelous Monday!

This week, we are discussing Chapter Six from Gholdy Muhammad’s book, Cultivating Genius: An Equity Framework for Culturally and Historically Responsive Literacy. In this chapter, Dr. Muhammad speaks to the importance of teaching Criticality.

Consider this quote from page 120, “Criticality calls for teachers and students to understand the ideologies and perspectives of marginalized communities (especially Black populations all over the world) and their ways of knowing and experiencing the world. Without this knowledge and anti-oppressive beliefs of their own, it becomes impossible to teach criticality in the classroom because it calls for a direct interruption of the things that disturb the peace in the world and in communities.”

The Art of Literacy: We Need YOU!

We are looking for speaking proposals for the 2022 WSRA conference, The Art of Literacy: Weaving Tapestries of Heart, Body and Soul.  It is more important now than ever that we are sharing our expertise.  Teachers, Interventionists, Coaches, and Administrators are looking for balance in delivering well founded, research based academic practices in both face to face and virtual formats.  Our WSRA Membership has a wealth of knowledge and we are asking for your speaking proposals so that we can pass on your expertise to ensure that students are receiving rigorous, research-based instruction - no matter their learning platform.  We know that you are doing amazing things with your students and encourage you to share your secrets with others so that students are receiving academic instruction that is grounded in research, engaging and focuses on instruction with an equity lens.

Session proposals for WSRA's February 3-5, 2022 conference will be accepted February 1 to June 14, 2021.
