Yesterday's :HVWP meeting

Yesterday, I attended the first session of the Advanced Institute of the Hudson Valley Writing Project. I am so excited to be part of this group. We will be really looking hard at ways to promote literacy in the Hudson Valley. Hopefully, all of us will become more effective at delivering meaningful staff development programs by the end of this seminar. Among other things, I am hoping to look at using oral language and specifically storytelling skills to promote literacy for all students but especially in early literacy.
