With support from the California Arts Council, 916 Ink’s program associate, Maria Gavia, will attend the Guide Language Acquisition Design (GLAD) 2-day workshop. The Guided Language Acquisition Design model provides an organizational structure for an integrated, balanced literacy approach. The Be GLAD 2-Day Workshop will focus on the theory and research behind the GLAD instructional strategies.
916 Ink is Sacramento’s arts-based creative writing and literacy nonprofit that provides workshops and tutoring to transform Sacramento youth into strong readers, confident communicators, and published authors. Our programs increase literacy skills, improve vocabulary, teach empathy, positively impact social and emotional learning, and expand communication skills. We envision a Sacramento region where every child and teen is given access to a culturally relevant creative writing program that leads them to believe in themselves and to understand the power of the written word.
