“At that moment the (subversive) power of reading made itself clear and real to me. If I could see the words, then no one could control them or what I got from them.” #NCTE25 keynote with Percival Everett

7 Essentials Ensure Your School Has a Culture of Belonging For our students to be well educated, activist citizens who lead fulfilling lives, they need schools that foster a culture of belonging, writes Regie Routman.

This article is a great read/share that can inspire reflection throughout the year. I appreciate the connection to the power of read-alouds. “Prioritize books, libraries, and stories. Stories promote positive and joyful learning.” Regie Routman spr.ly/6014ABpa0

Teachers and admin, if you've got a question—big or small—we now have a place where you can hash it with your peers. Someone else has had that same question and can share what they figured out. You've got the wisdom of a crowd here!

Congrats, Valerie!

Great @ChoiceLiteracy article re #Mindset. “Just gives me an idea of what’s next in a way that isn’t overwhelming but rather is a lower-stakes approach to progressing step-by-step.” @bitsyparks.bsky.social choiceliteracy.com/article/august…
