I look forward to seeing you next year, Henrietta. I knew you had a conflict this year.

> 
> Judith Green: What Counts as Literacy in Linguistically Diverse Classrooms
> Judith will describe factors within and beyond the classroom that support and constrain what counts as literacy in linguistically diverse classrooms. Tracing shifting policy contexts across 10 years, she reveals “literacy processes” lost in the reform shift to English Only.
> Hilary Janks: Engaging with Critical Literacy in Classrooms
> Hilary argues for the interdependence of power, access, diversity, and design/redesign in literacy. Within this framework she studies students’ enquiries. When viewed as a pedagogical orientation to language and social practices, critical literacy becomes possible, even with prescribed curricula.
> Stuart McNaughton: Literacy Development and the Challenge of Equitable Achievement
> Stuart reviews research linking three challenges of global, equitable achievement: continuities between family and school literacy practices, instruction that accelerates progress during primary years, and content area literacy teaching. Effective instruction coordinates the challenges, but national policies constrain effectiveness.
> Eufimia (Effie) Tafa: Kindergarten Children’s Understanding of Story Structure Improves through Story Retelling
> Effie describes a program that engages kindergarten children in story retelling. She discusses its impact on students’ understanding of story structure, and focuses on experiences their teachers developed and implemented to enhance their children’s comprehension of stories.
