Hello! This week’s PERKS newsletter welcomes everyone back to school. Coaches and teacher leaders, we hope you can join us for our September Think Tank next Tuesday. It’s virtual or traditional — whatever your preference. Details below!

PRACTICE

NEW in 2020-2021! If you’re thinking about moving your literacy instruction virtually, then you’ll want to join this online workshop to consider the key components of workshop in a remote setting. 

Each session includes a screencast, resources and a comment forum for reflection. Sessions released periodically September through December.

FREE to consortium members. Registration opens September 15.
