Conference Program Overview



Each literacy practitioner and administrator is an agent of change because they impact people’s lives through learning.

Spotlight on Learning: Becoming Agents of Change encourages literacy and essential skills stakeholders to go one step further and become agents of change for our field – influencing public policy and public opinion by making literacy and essential skills the fundamental issue in our communities.

Ready for a challenge?

Spotlight on Learning: Becoming Agents of Change challenges attendees to come to this conference, learn, network and take away at least one idea and one tool that will change our thinking – and ideally our actions.

Spotlight on Learning: Becoming Agents of Change aims to:

  • Improve our work and the work of our organizations
  • Engage new community partners
  • Inspire pride in the literacy and essential skills field
  • Set an agenda for literacy and essential skills in the 21st Century
