Our EKC Global Chats series is a space for sharing, asking for support, and brainstorming together.
Each month, we will tackle a different hot topic in literacy with an expert in the field, and then join in some global camaraderie and discussion. It's free to join!
Session 1: February 8 | 7:00-8:00am EST
Session 2: February 22 | 7:00-8:00am EST
This winter, we’re bringing educators together around the research shaping literacy right now. No single book. No shipping logistics. Just thoughtfully curated articles and meaningful conversation with colleagues from around the world.

Hannah Fernweh
Hannah Fernweh is a lifelong learner specializing in best practices for multilingual students, translanguaging, culturally relevant pedagogy, and students with exceptionalities. She has worked in public and international schools as a teacher, coach, and department head and has a particular passion for meeting the literacy needs of linguistically, culturally, and neurologically diverse learners. Currently, she is delving into how different writing systems can impact literacy development within the brain and how exceptionalities can influence how one acquires languages and literacies. When supporting schools, Hannah guides educators to understand how the brain learns to speak and read in order to develop clear, practical plans to support diverse learners.
