Thanks to all that attended our first KDP AES Chapter meeting of the new school year.  It was a great way to foster learning and enjoy fellowship with other educators and colleagues. The meeting started with some chapter overviews provided by our president, Alex Taves.  We moved into professional learning on the Science of Reading, hosted by Dr. Ruby Willey-Rendon and Dr. Jerad Crave.  Grounding our teachings in the Science of Reading shows us that teaching reading is fascinating, yet complex, but it is also an established science with clear and practical strategies.  Thank you to our brave presenters and co-hosts as we utilized a new webinar platform. We will continue to try new things as we pursue finding innovative ways to come together, socialize and learn. 

AES chapter has a Facebook group!  It is a closed group for inducted chapter members only. Please email [email protected] if you are interested in the link. This is a great way to connect with other AES members and share great information and celebrations!
