Thanks for posting! I couldn't be there, but now In can learn!

Abstract: This symposium looks at teacher professional learning communities supporting "good trouble" across four teacher education contexts: 1) a professional learning community of pre-service teachers foregrounding culturally-infused pedagogies; 2) first-year teachers in Georgia grappling with teaching literature in socially just ways; 3) reflections of teacher candidates on moments of advocacy in translanguaging read-alouds, and 4) practitioner inquiry into roleplaying games as speculative pedagogies.

If you’re at #LRA2024 and need something to do at 3pm, join us!

Nell Duke is inducted into the Reading Hall of Fame at #lra24. Her work in early literacy has been groundbreaking.

David Reinking inducts Peter Smagorinsky into the Reading Hall of Fame at #lra24. Peter's work was influential in my early years as a teacher.

I'm listening 🎧 to Hafsah Faizal's A Tempest of Tea. The voice actor Maya Saroya is wonderful.

Listening is reading.
