SCALE

We are excited about our new initiative funded in part by the Verizon Foundation: Read.Write.Act.(RWA) Virtual Learning Community. This virtual professional development community will allow student leaders and campus-based literacy programs to improve program practice and literacy outreach. Taking advantage of web 2.0 technologies including webinars, wikis, blogs, and social networking sites, selected campus teams will be invited to participate at no cost in quarterly virtual workshops on a variety of tutoring and program management topics. They will also participate in ongoing virtual community-building and information-sharing opportunities. Members of the RWA Virtual Learning Community will also gain access to SCALE’s library of downloadable tutoring manuals and literacy workshop agendas.
