Educators are encouraged to reserve seats for the workshop early. Recorded Books is the publisher of Dr. Janet Allen’s nationally popular Plugged-in to Reading and Plugged-in to Nonfiction curriculum programs. The Plugged-in Literacy Workshop is designed for educators working to support student literacy achievement in and beyond the classroom. Educators in Grades 4–12 will discover effective strategies for supporting students’ literacy success through hands-on experiences and professional development. Each morning Dr. Allen, author of several professional development books, including Words, Words, Words, and a respected authority on adolescent literacy, will lead with a keynote address. Throughout the day, educators will participate in breakout sessions with Plugged-in practitioners. Susan White, Principal of Maine’s Caribou Middle School, attended the 2009 workshop and said: “What Janet has done for our school is difficult to put into words…She has empowered all of us to be better. From my perspective as a school leader, it has been wonderful to see not only students become more confident but teachers becoming more confident.” Caribou Middle School special education teachers Susan Keaton and Twyla Learnard added: “Janet Allen and Plugged-in have revolutionized the way we approach teaching reading comprehension…Our students are finally identifying themselves as people who read, and that says it all.” To register for the 2010 Plugged-in to Literacy Workshop, please call Recorded Books at 1-800-638-1304 x1122 or download the registration form available at http://pluggedineducators.ning.com.
