Plain Talk About Literacy and Learning®

Don’t miss out as we return to New Orleans!

March 8-10, 2023

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.

Attendees include superintendents, state and district office administrators, principals, teacher leaders and coaches, and technical assistance providers (2022 Plain Talk attendance was 1,800).
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.
95% of Institute attendees report that they leave with knowledge, strategies, and tactics they will apply.
