Invitation To Impact Teaching and Literacy Learning

Reflective educators and lead learners,

Walk steadfastly

On a path of change and resolution

Into new learning - a common core of knowledge.

Gingerly move forward across literacy landscapes

While reflecting on past practices.

Embrace the task at hand

As a mission, not mandate.

Resolute in purpose,

Design unique opportunities for learning.

Build authentic environments.

Dig deeper.

Enrich, extend students’ literate lives.

Broaden your scope.

Stretch boundaries. Cross limits.

Move forward

on a reflective pathway.

And with purposeful steps and skills in hand,

Open your doors.

Collaborate with colleagues.

Connect to deeper understandings.

Grow as learners.

As a cohort of change, breathe in resolution.

Exhale stagnant and stale practices.

Throw away old vestiges of teaching practices

And explore endless possibilities.

To enhance teaching and impact students’ literary lives.
