We bought each other an air fryer for Christmas (it arrived yesterday) and had some delicious salmon and broccoli for our first air fryer dinner.

Finished this up today. It’s been in process for months!

Supporting a high school where it looks like the ELA teachers have taken on sole responsibilities for students’ literacy development. Literacy folks, what say you to this? How can I support these teachers and students moving forward?

Just wondering (again) why Wyoming has so many dead spots for cell coverage? Sheesh.

My Literacy Friends book group is reading Disrupting Thinking by Beers and Prost, and today I'm wondering about how their instructional strategies, like book/head/heart, and notice and note signposts, might be integrated with the disciplinary literacy for English language arts heuristic 1/2

Today I learned that the Allerton Park Conference (1962) was focused on research ideas for the US govt funded program “Project English” (1961-68). Still working on the identity of ELATE founders who attended.

I learned today that 3-4 of the individuals who started the Conference on English Education in 1963-64 (now known as English Language Arts Teacher Educators — ELATE) attended the Allerton Park Conference on Research in the Teaching of English. Not sure of who they are, but I’m in pursuit of that!
