Another way I am continuing my professional learning is through my voluntary work as a reviewer of literacy articles for the Broader Middle East and North Africa Literacy Hub. The organization strives to improve basic literacy in those countries and in particular, to increase the number of girls attending primary school frameworks.

I am always interested by the materials I receive and meet a variety of literacy issues in my reading. Although I have been reviewing articles for the past two years, I have no idea how they found me to invite me to be a reviewer for this international project. The connection may be my International Reading Association membership.

p.s – Yet another kind of professional learning – as you can see, I have finally learned to hyperlink… about time. It was one of my goals before going back to school and I’m happy to report that I’ve done it.
