Join Teacher and Author Carol Jago
for a Special Virtual Event: "Reading in a Pandemic: How Did It Suddenly Become So Difficult?" 


 
Teachers and students are living through an age of anxiety. For many, the stress has begun to interfere with our ability to read with pleasure and comprehension.

Carol Jago will offer practical ideas for:
  • developing students’ digital reading skills
  • engaging students in reading tasks that matter to them
  • finding compelling, culturally relevant texts
  • navigating the gap from learning loss to learning gains
This virtual event is free for ICTE members, but registration is required. Registrants will have the opportunity to submit questions for Carol to answer during the event. Registration opens on January 11, 2021. Learn more here
