From Oyster to Strands of Pearls: Putting the Past in Perspective as We Look to the Future
Don Deshler, KU-CRL

The last few years have seen dramatic developments in both the national education environment and our own expanded research interests. A recent federal emphasis on adolescent literacy has opened new avenues for our exploration. In light of these changes, are the accomplishments of our past still relevant? Fortunately and emphatically, yes! In this session, Don will string together the pearls produced in the KU-CRL oyster, positioning these gems in the context of the Center’s continuing focus on struggling adolescent learners in secondary schools.
