My new book is available for pre-order now! www.corwin.com/books/the-bo...

Wonderful new book! It’s both gorgeously written and very usable for teachers to try right away.

Love seeing my teammates work spread across the country at LitConn this week!

Studying language and it’s connection to reading, speaking, and writing skills with 4th grade teachers.
We also added in visuals and gestures. It’s all connected!

We asked 12th graders reading a complex text what they paid attention to as they read today. Here is a chart that captures what we discovered after conferring with them. Big takeaway… they notice a lot but don’t always have the academic words to name it. We just gave it a name.

If you are headed into a family gathering and feeling anxious take a minute to ground yourself. It is also helpful to do this with our kids. Best thing to bring to Thanksgiving is a regulated nervous system.

A moment from my #NCTE24 session where we looked at metaphorical language and then moved our bodies to understand the feeling and meaning. Fun, effective, and engaging! #thebodybrainconnection

Great session at #NCTE24 with old friends. Inquiry exploration around citizenship.

Would love to connect in person if you are at #NCTE24

My new book with Corwin Press is coming this May. If you’re at #NCTE24 come get a sneak peek Sunday morning.

First post on here. Really hoping to find the joy of connection that we used to have on Twitter. I’m optimistic.
