#ncte24 #edusky the pressure we put on children is unfair who only want to be children alive and fed and full of curiosity. Kindle the light always. Bear witness of this life and extend it through the arts. The younger humans are watching us.

My brain is so full of possibilities right now from #NCTE24 - every session I’ve attended has left me with something new to consider. Looking forward to some down time to reflect and think about all of this new learning!

“We should not be measuring school success based on a performance an a test. We should measure school success based on a low level of suspensions. In this way schools are truly trying to teach and reach Ss instead of marginalizing them in the name of ‘academic success.’” - Bryan Stevenson. #NCTE24

Wow! At the First Timers’ Breakfast - 40% of educators at #NCTE24 are First Timers! That gives me so much hope for our future and the future of education. Welcome to a community of educators to support and encourage our growth and development. 🍀
