The Center for Literacy and Learning’s annual Plain Talk About Literacy and Learning® Institute brings together a who’s who of literacy experts, researchers, and practitioners to provide educators with the latest research and teaching strategies that increase student achievement. The Center is proud to offer exhibitor opportunities to participating individuals and organizations.

- A geographical snapshot of the last three Plain Talk Institutes shows attendees hailing from 49 states and Canada, with a dash from England and Australia.

“It was very obvious that the entire event was well planned and considerate of all educators’
needs. Personally, as a literacy coach, I gained more knowledge as to how to more effectively
serve my people. The speakers were very personable and eager to support everyone. The sessions offered many strategies that I am ready to share with my colleagues.”
