Pope Francis has encouraged us to “open our eyes and see the misery of the world, the wounds of our brothers and sisters who are denied their dignity, and let us recognize that we are compelled to heed their cry for help!” (Misericordiae Vultus, [MV] no. 15). Through the Peter’s Pence Collection, we stand in solidarity with Catholics all over the world to support the char- itable works of our Holy Father. Contributions to this collection support Pope Francis as he reaches out to those suffering the effects of war and violence, natural disasters, and religious persecution. Pope Francis has told us that “mercy is the force that reawakens us to new life and instills in us the courage to look to the future with hope” (MV, no. 10). Please prayerfully consider participating in this collection and becom- ing a witness of charity, a force of mercy that reaches out to those around the world.

  • Illinois Reading Council 2019 Conference
    Illinois Reading Council 2019 Conference October 3-4, 2019 Peoria, Illinois COMPLETE Co mprehension Everything you need for differentiated, responsive comprehension instruction FROM Jennifer Serravallo best-selling author of Learn more at HEIN.PUB/CC Welcome to the 52nd Annual Illinois Reading Council Conference Dear Guest, In 2002, I attended my first IRC conference. It was my second year of teaching. I was overwhelmed by all the knowledge shared and found it difficult to know how and where to incorporate all I learned within my classroom! Yet, I knew that I would be back. And I have. I have been lucky to be able to attend every conference since then and IRC has never let me down. This conference has directly impacted my teaching. From what books I select to use in my classrooms, what methods I use to keep students engaged, how I incorporate technology, and so much more, I owe to this annual conference. Beyond the professional learning, I’ve been blessed to foster great relationships with so many teachers from all over the state. My “IRC friends” are awesome. We are a crazy crew of author stalking literacy junkies. Knowing I have such a strong literacy support group in my corner has given me the courage to go out on a limb and try new things within my own classroom. So, when given the daunting task of chairing an event I hold so dear to my heart, I wanted to put the Spotlight on the Literacy greats I love, who have all been introduced to me through IRC or my “IRC Friends.” Our featured speakers this year have all directly impacted me in my classroom in some way, shape, or form through their practices, their writing, or their friendship.
