#TCTELA President-Elect @markeshatisby.bsky.social shares a chapter of her journey via our #BoardMemberHistorias series. Recollecting on the reading adventures taken with her mother, Markesha begins by sharing that words were her first playground.
#TCTELA2026 #TeacherVoices #Historias #MattDeLaPeña
#TCTELA President Eva Goins is the first to share her journey via our #BoardMemberHistorias:
“I grew up where language lived,
tucked in stories and spoken wishes.
Through long days and quiet nights, my parents sowed sacrifice, so I could harvest dreams.
