Literacy is a focus of teachers and leaders across the state of Tennessee, and across the nation. But literacy is more than a passing emphasis or an educational buzzword. Strong literacy skills are at the heart of equity and opportunity for all our students. Literacy at the middle and high school levels is the avenue by which students access knowledge. Students must know how to use their literacy skills in every content area in order to learn. Teachers must be equipped with ways to unlock these opportunities for literacy across all subjects.

Join Dr. Ally Hauptman and Dr. Michelle Hasty for the next Ayers Institute Webinar: "Is Every Teacher a Reading Teacher? Secondary Strategies for Literacy Across the Content Areas" as they share practical strategies for literacy across the content areas, with a specific focus on how to incorporate these strategies in grades 6-12.

This webinar is offered free of charge and is appropriate for K-12 and higher education professionals who work with current or pre-service teachers.


The Ayers Institute produces monthly, web-based seminars ("webinars"). These online resources provide timely, topical professional-learning opportunities to educators.
