We would like to thank you for your participation in the 2020-2021 UCF’s 1st Literacy Symposium Express virtual workshops!
We are pleased to share with you that we had 943 PreK-20 registrants during this unprecedented time! The theme of our 2020-2021 theme on Literacy Engagement and Socio-Emotional Learning will continue to be relevant to all educators, families, and communities as we transition to Fall 2021 and beyond. Please see our Spring 2021 Newsletter in What’s New and theme-related tips in Resources.
Together, we will continue to make a difference in literacy teaching and learning. We hope to see you in our future events. Stay tuned for updates! Wishing everyone health and safety.

Action for Literacy Through Teacher Preparation, Professional Partnerships
Be inspired throughout the day from experts and practitioners in a space that brings together PK-20 educators to connect, share, advocate for and learn about literacy. The overarching principles of this event are to:
- View literacy as the cornerstone of student learning across grades, content areas, and contexts;
- Create strong and long-lasting literacy partnerships between the college of education and practitioners in the field;
- Create a professional learning community space that is welcoming, inclusive, rigorous, and collaborative;
- Strategically weave in policy, research, and practice; and
- Plan with the needs of preservice and in-service educators in mind.
