Each year, SCALE sponsors National Literacy Action Week (NLAW), during which campus organizations nationwide join together to raise awareness about literacy and create change on their campuses and in their communities. On Saturday, February 4th, SCALE will hold a virtual conference to address and contextualize the new literacy challenges in today’s society. During this summative event, SCALE will host several virtual presentations via Elluminate on the history of adult and child literacy needs, as well as on the continuing efforts to address ongoing challenges.
The Student Coalition for Action in Education invites all participating Campuses and NLAW supporters to participate in the National Literacy Action Week 2012 Virtual Conference. We encourage participates to attend all four of these exciting presentations! All presentations will be interactive and provide information and resources to support your continued efforts to support literacy and education.
