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.
Other expenses (lodging, travel, dinners, etc.) are the responsibility of attendees. A link for making reservations will be provided soon.

We acknowledge that unexpected circumstances can arise in life. Should you encounter an emergency situation preventing you from participating in your designated face-to-face session, we kindly request that you promptly inform your facilitators.
Our center will have only one make up date for each unit. The dates and location are firm and will only be utilized in emergency situations due to limited seating.
Thank you for understanding that while we fully appreciate the unpredictability of emergencies, procedures are in place to ensure smooth orchestration of LETRS trainings through the SC RPDC center.
Please fill out the linked form if you have spoken to a facilitator about seating availability and have been approved to attend a make-up session.
