Thank you, educators! We appreciate your support of literature and reading.
Below are opportunities just for you.
For Educators
School Visits:
Each year we send authors to local high schools the day before the festival!* If you want us to consider your school for an author visit, read this informational sheet and then fill out this form.
*We only visit high schools since the books being presented skew older YA and may or may not have suitable content for children under 13.
Author/Educator Mixer:
It is our mission to give students a chance to connect with books and authors, and you are the driving facilitator behind that mission.
For exact locations at Washington-Lee High School of the following events, please get a program when you arrive at the festival.
· 10:35 – 11:15 Author Speed Dating: Educators, as you sit and relax, authors will make the rounds in the room, each spending about 5 minutes at your table to chat about their books, about possibilities for partnerships your school, about whatever is on your mind!
· 11:25 – 11:55 Author Panel: Three area authors will answer your questions about ways to develop partnerships, including school visits.
· 12:00 – 12:30 Author-Educator Lunch Mixer: An opportunity for informal conversations with some local authors. We’ll have snacks on hand, and you’re welcome to bring your own lunch in!
· 12:40 – 1:20 Author Speed Dating: Same set-up as the a.m. session, but completely different authors! So you’ll want to hit both.
