Sick again, so I’m reposting this article about being sick and missing school as a teacher. Luckily it’s just nasal congestion and should pass quickly, but even one day away feels like too much. #TeacherLife #SickDay #RestAndRecover #EduSky #Substack

Another photo from #HandsOff Lawrence Township NJ. All the snaps I'm posting were shot by the brains of this outfit, @maryanna1.bluesky.social
NCTE is still accepting until 1/29, but NJCTE is closed for this year.
It's really hard to rebuild your PLN on a new platform, so thank you for being here with me! I'm excited to learn and grow together on Bluesky! #EduSky
She's my awesome friend and former student teacher. She's an incredible person to know, and big things are in her future!
I loved what Ada Limon had to say about writer's block in her talk at #NCTE24 today: "It is not so much that you don't have anything to say; it's that you have so much to say."
We have to take time to sort through the overwhelmingness of it all, time to let one good idea at a time shine through.
I would definitely say it was a good balance of the two!
Carol Jago stands at a podium giving a speech.
To kick off #CEL24, @caroljago.bsky.social engages us on “Challenged and Challenging Texts and Teaching.” Being in conversation with other literacy leaders is invigorating and pushes me to know and do better.
It's another visual interpretation of turtles all the way down.
"The younger humans are watching us...I want to be accountable to them." Ada Limón #NCTE24
"Your NCTE family is here...NCTE is year round...You are not alone." #NCTE24

Amazing round table discussions about fighting censorship and book bans! #NCTE24
First time discussing the forthcoming WWII book in public. Many thanks to Dr. Nick Mueller of the National WWII Museum for being a fantastic conversation partner.
Thank you to the important work of everyone on this panel to prevent book banning. Free people read freely #NCTE24
Thank you to everyone who came out for our presentation today on student-driven instruction! I was honored to be part of this group of educators as part of the NCTE Literacy Assessment Committee! #NCTE24
