The International Literacy Association (ILA) announced today a new weekly newsletter in partnership with SmartBrief: ILA Literacy Teaching & Learning SmartBrief. Debuting today, the newsletter aims to be a vital resource for literacy professionals worldwide, providing curated content on the latest developments in literacy education and research.
The mission of ILA—a professional membership organization for literacy educators, researchers and advocates across 128 countries—is to connect research and practice to improve the quality of literacy learning across the globe. Among the top priorities of the organization’s strategic plan is to provide more low-cost and free resources to educators around the world.
This partnership with SmartBrief represents a significant step in fulfilling both that promise and the ILA mission.
