Beyond the Classroom:Applying Literacy to Promote Equity  You are invited to submit a proposal!  Click here In this year's Read.Write.Act Virtual Conference, we will be exploring how literacy can be applied to various social justice themes.  As such, we are looking for presenters to discuss how literacy can move beyond the classroom and be applied to other issues to promote justice and equality across society.  From health literacy, to financial literacy, to using literacy to promote women’s empowerment, the possibilities are endless!    As always, we also welcome and encourage proposals about specific teaching techniques, and we ask that presenters indicate how these techniques can have wider applications. For example, if discussing techniques for teaching ESL grammar, suggest ways to apply this to other issues through application and contextual-based activities.  Literacy is everywhere- let's explore its importance across society! Looking for some ideas?  Click here to see descriptions from the 2012 virtual conference.
