Who do I contact with Reading Apprenticeship Questions?

The Active Learning Academy is a community of instructors and administrators who are interested in discovering new techinques in engaging student learning.  We feel that there are numerous techniques available, and that this is an opportunity to share, refine and innovate our practices.  Each one of us has our special approach: we encourage you to share and it through video, email, discussion posting, social media, however you see fit.
