This forum provides a spot for Literacy team members to share ideas, ask questions, post learning sequences, share resources, and connect with other members on the literacy team.

Our learning intentions:

1) I can expand my professional learning by networking with colleagues who are also committed to literacy learning

2) I can share and use literacy practices in my classroom that increase student achievement

3) I can act as a literacy leader in my school and district by modelling good literacy practices and leading by example, by sharing resources and ideas with other teachers, and by working with the district literacy team
