Read. Write. Act. National Conference

November 1-2, 2008

Each year SCALE hosts the Read. Write. Act. National Conference on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It's the only national conference devoted to the interests and concerns of campus-based literacy programs. Campus literacy leaders and representatives from across the nation gather each fall for an intensive weekend of workshops, panel discussions, networking events and reflection sessions. Participants come to share information, learn new skills, challenge assumptions, and develop ideas to create more participatory literacy programs.
