Our school district has taken the initiative to bring literacy into every subject taught in the district. In order to give extra literacy support and resources, a few specials teachers were sent along with reading teachers to the IRC Conference to learn more about how we can make this happen. :) I was THRILLED to see that author Dave Burgess was going to be presenting. I read his book, "Teach Like A Pirate" this summer, and was completely inspired. He believes teaching needs to be entertaining and that exciting presentation is just as important as the content that is taught. I am so excited to bring back what I have learned here!
