Statewide Collaboration: Transitioning Teacher Prep to Align With Today’s Standards

With evolving literacy standards reshaping teacher preparation, aligning professional learning resources with local guidelines and requirements is more crucial than ever. Join Stephanie Grote-Garcia, Bethanie C. Pletcher, and Roberta D. Raymond as they discuss how ILA’s Texas affiliate, the Texas Association for Literacy Education (TALE), supported teacher education faculty across Texas in aligning their resources with new state literacy competencies.
