Educational conferences are wonderful opportunities to learn new teaching methods, make connections, and get refreshed for the upcoming school year. This year's International Literacy Association 2017 Conference was no exception! We heard from a lot of great speakers and educators from all over the world whose passion for education was truly inspiring.

Next up, the much-anticipated Multi-Day Institute, "Create Your Vision: Getting Started Fountas & Pinnell Classroom™" in Baltimore Maryland from July 31 to August 3, 2017! There's still time to register if you haven't already. In this interactive four-day institute, Fountas and Pinnell will present their vision to lift students' literacy learning through authentic experiences in reading, thinking, talking, and writing. They will show how the instructional contexts within FPC work together to develop coherence in the literacy learning of every student across the grades.
