In this first making meaning episode, we're diving into how our time with Dr. Laurie Olsen, Dr. Kathy Escamilla, and Dr. Jody Slavick helps us better understand literacy:

 - the explicit attention to oracy in every classroom

 - the professional learning needs of educators

 - and the family engagement "invitation." 

The episode is a mix of analysis of episodes 1-5 of this series, and ideas for you to consider for your students.
