Loyola University Maryland Literacy Leadership Awards

Loyola University Maryland welcomes Barbara Chatton, Ph.D., professor emerita of education at the University of Wyoming, as the keynote speaker for the fifth annual Literacy Leadership Awards presentation. With the awards, the literacy program at Loyola’s School of Education honors the accomplishments of outstanding educators and their impact on their students, schools, and communities. Chatton’s address, “‘Anyone Can Fly’: Wise Words for Teachers from Children’s Literature,” will focus on how literature provides young people with more than just reading practice, writing models, and narrow behavioral themes.

The event will take place in McGuire Hall. Tickets are free with registration by Feb. 17. More information available here: www.loyola.edu/literacyleader
