ANNUAL FLORIDA LITERACY Register at: www.floridaliteracy.org Workshop Description: Hundreds of adult and family literacy practitioners, tutors and adult learners will come together this May 3-5 for the 22nd Annual Florida Literacy Conference. Conferees will have their choice of over 70 workshops within eleven learning tracks presented by local, state and national educators.
The festivities kick off on May 2nd with several pre-Conference workshops: Best Practices and Certification with TABE, Ruby Payne's Frameworks for Poverty, Study Circle on Research-Based Adult Reading, and a Study Circle on Health Literacy. Also on May 2nd will be Train the Tutor Trainer, as well as a workshop on administering the Best Plus literacy assessment tool.

At our first-ever Closing Luncheon, published poet and teacher, Elizabeth Thomas, will discuss how poetry may be taught to advance literacy while encouraging self-awareness, creativity and the connection to a larger world.
