AFA Participates in USA TODAY Education Advisory Panel

On Thursday, 12 March 2009, Ann Sagle participated in the USA TODAY Education Advisory Panel meeting. AFA has held an advisory position with USA TODAY Education since 2004. This year’s panel discussions included conversations about using USA TODAY as a source for student reading in science, technology, engineering and math. Keynote speakers Dr. James Williams and Dr. Folasade Oladele of the Buffalo, NY, public schools, addressed the needs of students in underperforming schools for resources to increase their reading proficiency and thereby their scholastic achievement in all subject areas, including math and science. It was noted that the Miami Dade Public Schools (FL) have adopted the USA TODAY program as their standard reading program of choice, and that the Hillsborough (FL) School District is also using the USA TODAY program as their reading resource of choice. AFA and USA TODAY have been educational partners for 18 years.
