It’s almost here! Are you getting excited for the International Reading Association 59th Annual Conference in New Orleans? Do you still have questions about which sessions to attend or how to make the most of your conference experience? Well, you’re in luck! We’re hosting an #IRAchat focused on helping you gear up for #IRA14. Join us on Thursday, May 8 at 8:00 p.m. ET, 7:00 p.m. CST.
Our host for the evening will be international speaker and education consultant @iChrisLehman. He’ll be guiding the discussion and seeking your input on what you’re looking forward to and what you hope to get out of your time in New Orleans.
Even if you’re unable to join us physically in New Orleans, this chat will be the perfect opportunity to make connections with your peers who are making the trip. All are welcome to chat and we know there will be plenty of resource sharing and excitement to go around.
