The CCIRA blog is a little over a year old. In just fourteen months our audiences have enjoyed a broad range of topics related to literacy, professional development, achievement, and of course, the passivity of Peppa Pig. Guest bloggers were classroom teachers, coaches, literacy specialists, national speakers, published authors, university professors, principals and administrators. Many guest bloggers will present sessions at the 2019 CCIRA Conference on Literacy this February. Below is a list of the heavy hitters; the posts which were shared across social media channels and were most popular with our readers.

So humbled to be included in this list. Would love to keep the conversation about core instruction open. It is a fluid construct, like so much in our profession. Thanks to all who contribute to this virtual space. Hope to see so many of you at the conference next month!
