The Southport CoLAB and Literacy How have collaborated to host a virtual Roundtable Discussion on the topic of inequalities in education across the United States titled, “Educational Inequalities: What Can Be Done?”. The panel of advocates will speak to what’s causing these inequalities in education, how our most vulnerable children have been impacted during these unprecedented times, and how we might begin to mitigate the consequences moving forward. 

The conversation will be based on Emily Hanford’s recent podcast, What the Words Say. We welcome your input! Submit a question for discussion before November 10th here. We cannot guarantee that all questions will be answered.

Please note that a recorded version will not be offered at a later date.

The event is free and registration is required.

Dr. R. Malatesha (Malt) Joshi Ph.D

Spelling is a window on a person’s knowledge of words and improving spelling not only helps writing but also vocabulary and reading. However, our research has shown that spelling is not explicitly taught in schools. Further, not only many classroom teachers and university professors do not know the principles of English spelling but even the textbooks used in teacher preparation programs have given incorrect information.
