Educating for Justice in the Digital Age: a Celebration of Writing and Literacy

For 19 years, the Philadelphia Writing Project has convened a Celebration of Writing and Literacy, an annual conference presented by and for Philadelphia educators. This year's conference theme is “Educating for Justice in the Digital Age.” The conference is co-hosted by the Philadelphia Writing Project, the Teachers Institute of Philadelphia (TIP), Penn GSE, and the Penn Museum. Join local educators online, October 17-18, for two days of learning, reflection, and joy as we share promising practices and resources for supporting writing and literacy among young people!
