Okay, who else is still on east coast time? I miss Boston!! I need a coffee… #sschat #Edusky #NCSS2024

Just like every time, we return from #NCSS2024, humbled and inspired and with a thousand ideas.

#sschat which would be nicest for your class after break? We gotta priotitize!

Tariffs, Dept of Ed, Civil Service, The Farm Bill, Realignment(s), the Justice Dept, Human Rights, Oversight...other?

View from the USS Constitution in Boston. On the deck, looking up through the rigging towards the American flag.

One of my takeaways from #FreedomTrail @ncssnetwork.bsky.social #NCSS2024...

Look up every once in a while to see which way the wind is blowing. You may be going against it, but that should never come as a surprise.

A highlight of mine from #ncss2024 🥰

I met the author of this book, Ms.Janet, at #ncss2024. It was humbling and inspiring to say the least. At 89, she is a Holocaust survivor, and you need this book in your classrooms and school libraries.
