March Program

Using Literacy to Design & Implement Intentional Acts of Kindness

Thursday, March 14, 2024

Time: 4:30-6:00 PM

Virtual - ZOOM

Sponsored  by KSLA Brandywine Valley Forge

ACT 48: 1.5 Hours will be submitted to PDE for full attendance.

Facilitator of Learning:  Dana Kramaroff

Description: In this session, Pennsylvania educator and author, Dana Kramaroff will share her journey using literacy to design and implement intentional acts of kindness.  Dana has used this approach to making the world a better place through action with students of different ages. NOTE: Learners will engage in various experiences to enrich the lives of their students as well as themselves. To gain as much as possible from the workshop, we highly encourage each learner to bring an illustrated text, short story, or novel in which there is a character they admire.   

Author bio:  Dana Kramaroff is a mom, an elementary school teacher, and a fellow of the National Writing Project. Her publishing credits include multiple articles about parenting on Scary Mommy. Her publishing credits include the middle grade novel, THE DO MORE CLUB (Penguin Random House/Rocky Pond Books).  She hails from rural Pennsylvania (where her kids are often the only Jews in their schools as well) and is easily impressed by stickers, washi tape, colorful pens, and notebooks.
