Deeply grateful for the educators who showed up ready to learn, question, and collaborate. Heading home thinking about what’s next especially how we continue advancing #religiousliteracy. Already sketching ideas for #NCSS2026.

Just wrapped an energizing @socialstudies.org #NCSS2025 session on the Scopes Trial exploring how one 1925 event about science and religion still raises urgent questions about democracy and education & how civic+disciplinary inquiry can help make sense of it. Grateful for the educators in the room.
