Classroom publishing involves more than printing a book. It allows students to use their individual talents to create something that can actually support their community. In this one-day conference, educators and publishing experts from around the country will show how publishing is within reach for students of all grade and skill levels. These workshops will showcase hands-on lessons to make reading and writing exciting for everyone!
