Professional Development
In the first year of the grant, our team focused on building theoretical lenses and received extensive training from expert teachers, researchers, and organizations that know how to develop a 21st Century Literacies pedagogy. This training helps us engage students as readers, writers, and co-creators of multi-media texts in the classroom.
