One of the best parts of attending conferences is connecting with brilliant educators, researchers, and advocates who are doing the work!

Back from an incredible time in NOLA where I presented at the Plain Talk Conference.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended my session with Ms. Kari Kurto of The Reading League.

I had a fun but busy time at the ASHA Convention in Seattle. Dr. Holt and I presented on #AAE and assessment. Connecting with colleagues was a highlight. I even had the chance to meet a few people who’ve followed my work. #ASHAConvention #RespecttheDialect #equityineducation
