West Jersey Reading Council is now planning our annual Fall Conference. *DUE TO THE CURRENT SITUATION IT WILL BE COMPLETELY ONLINE! We are excited about providing teachers, administrators, and college students alike the opportunity to experience a variety of workshop topics relative to literacy. We are seeking presenters for our conference this year. It is for this reason we invite you to be a workshop presenter at our 2020 Fall Conference.
If you have a passion for a particular area of literacy, we invite you to share your knowledge and strategies with our conference attendants.
This year, we will NOT be having it at the Pennsauken H.S. We are asking if you would like to HOST a zoom meeting. We will set up the zoom meeting for you!
When: The week of October 19-22nd. We are hoping to offer a few sessions each afternoon for 45 minutes. We are hoping to offer sessions for K-2, 3-5, 6-9 each day that week for participants to choose from.
