The policy forum brings together politicians, state government officials, teachers, administrators, business representatives, university researchers, and other stakeholders to examine the state of literacy teaching and learning in Illinois schools under the No Child Left Behind initiative. Participants share ideas on how the state's universities can work with legislative representatives and agencies to better support literacy teaching and learning in Illinois.
Join us for the 2007 Policy Forum on Friday, October 19 in the Circus Room, Bone Student Center. Details to come.
The Center hosted the Policy Forum on Literacy Teaching and Learning on September 8, 2006 at the Bone Student Center, a one-day workshop with policymakers, Office of the Governor, Illinois State Board of Education, and representatives from public and private Illinois universities. This event explored methods of teaching literacy and called attention to the global efforts to improve awareness and education to promote literacy. Read the 2006 Policy Forum Report.
