2010 Ethical Literacy® Conference
Greetings from the Ethical Literacy® Learning Community:
A great deal of appreciation goes out to the participants and presenters of our recent 2010 Ethical Literacy® Conference. Their voice is what gives this work meaning and inspiration. Each year we leave our annual conference feeling confident that this was our best ever, and with great purpose and challenge to make next year’s conference live up to the previous. This e-mail connects you to the learning from this year’s conference.
Thanks to the generosity of conference sponsors St. George’s Independent School and the Assisi Foundation of Memphis, we were able to enhance the formatting of the conference. We were able to include the participation of featured speakers and presenters, alongside presenters from participating Ethical Literacy® Teams. For many of us, the learning opportunities our dynamic and enthusiastic presenters provided were highlights of the conference.
