Please plan to join Missouri’s Literacy Team and your K-12 colleagues from around Missouri on June 30, and July 1, 2025, at The Lodge of Four Seasons in Lake Ozark for our 2025 Literacy Summit, “Every Teacher is a Literacy Teacher.” The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) encourages educators from all content areas to attend! DESE will provide two days of high-quality professional development sessions delivered by literacy experts, along with breakfasts, and lunches at no cost to participants. Both days will include sessions for K-12 educators.
