LITERACY CONSORTIUM Welcome!

APRIL 19, 2017

PURPOSE OF THE LITERACY CONSORTIUM

This group is all about keeping a finger on the pulse of

literacy education in Oakland County. Made up of literacy
leaders from the districts and the Oakland Schools
Literacy Team, this group meets several times a year to:
discuss literacy education needs and priorities so we
can address them moving forward;
develop alliances between districts to share resources,
thinking, and possibly professional learning and future
planning; and
engage in professional
learning together.
