====We will use this wiki to facilitate our literacy-based professional development initiative in February, 2012. This PD experience will occur on three workshop dates as follows: Tuesday, Feb., 7; Wed., Feb. 8; and Tues., Feb. 14. The first two workshops will be held in Rocky Mount, and the last one will be held in Raleigh at NC State's Friday Institute for Educational Innovation.====

//"Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope. It is a tool for daily life in modern society. It is a bulwark against poverty, and a building block of development, an essential complement to investments in roads, dams, clinics and factories. Literacy is a platform for democratization, and a vehicle for the promotion of cultural and national identity. Especially for girls and women, it is an agent of family health and nutrition. For everyone, everywhere, literacy is, along with education in general, a basic human right.... Literacy is, finally, the road to human progress and the means through which every man, woman and child can realize his or her full potential."// -- Kofi Annan
