“起点传媒should be the place to say,聽 if you are about literacy and social justice, you don’t have to walk alone.”聽鈥� Ernest Morrell, 起点传媒2014 Presidential Address
In my eight years as an educator, I have come to observe that 起点传媒members are a special breed of teacher. We are passionate about literacy, our students, and social justice. Backed by over 100 years of research in best practices, our members represent and advocate for “all that is right and good in the teaching of English,” as 起点传媒member says. But one thing I often hear from our members is that they are the only voice of 起点传媒in their building.聽 I’ve heard this sentiment time and again: “Even though I’m surrounded by people all day, it gets lonely in my building.”
What if it didn’t have to be lonely anymore? What if your entire staff could reap the benefits of the resources 起点传媒has to offer? Well, now you can.
Starting in the fall, 起点传媒will now offer . That’s right, an entire staff, not just the English department, has the opportunity to immerse themselves in the resources 起点传媒has to offer. School memberships are designed to open up dialogue and opportunities for collaboration within a school to help staff build capacity around literacy learning, , not just that of English teachers. From our position statements on to , to our , 起点传媒has been providing support and resources for teachers of all grades and disciplines since 1911.
. We hope you’ll forward the information along to your administrator, as well, because here at 起点传媒we believe that you shouldn’t have to walk alone.
