โ๏ธThis question has been on my mind for a while:
What about, instead of #English or #ELA we call our classes
Literature and Language Arts
or something like that?

Last weekend at #CATE2026 in Los Angelesโconnecting with California teachers and sharing The Strongest Books You Can Buy! See why librarians love our service and trust our bindings to stand up to years of classroom use. โ tinyurl.com/4debjf5a #NCTE #ELA #englishteacher
English and literacy educators (any grade!), of any books published in the past five-ish years, Iโm curious which you would love to teach and why. If you didnโt have to worry about any standards, state testing, etc., what books would you teach? #ELA #ELAteaching #teacher #NCTE #literature #literacy

With all the talk about technology, blue books, process and product, it took me back to this 2020 piece I published on Moving Writers: "In Defense of Paper"
Maybe a refreshing weekend read!

A survey class that asks students to reflect on John Proctor's lines about his name, and how it applies to them.
I love this concluding question on my end-of-semester survey.
It never fails to uncover new things to learn about the young people I teach, even as we're getting ready to move on to other courses.
Their candor and heart leave me smiling.
#iamteachingenglish #ncte
High school ELA teachers: Do you prefer your class to be called โEnglishโ or โEnglish Language Artsโ? What are the connotations of each for you? What is gained or lost in either label?

And finally, knowing both of these things, I hope students will come away with a renewed determination to create a world where every person is valued and treated with dignity. #ncte #orbispictus #picturebooks
Kidlit community, why, oh, why are we still using Meta platforms for organizing? I'd love to join an #NCTE panel, but I'm not going back on any Meta platform for any reason. They are already complying with blocking queer content and abortion related resources.

PRESS RELEASE: ELA classroom teachers will lead the creation of a scalable framework for responsible AI use in the discipline through a new initiative led by #NCTE, courtesy of a national grant from Google.org, the companyโs philanthropy. ncte.org/blog/2025/12/ela-ai-fram...
It was nice meeting everyone at #NCTE and #LRA. It was an interesting conference season to say the least. I will follow up soon with more on my podcasts and series after I close out the semester.

So much fun at #NCTE! ๐
One of the highlights of #NCTE was sharing about the new Democracy & Literature collection from Sphere. And, catching up with many English teachers/Sphere alumni! Shoutout to our Sphere alum who presented with my colleague Kobi on the topic. #TeacherSphere
3rd year going and presenting at #NCTE. Always so energizing to spend time and talk to so many talented fellow educators.
At today's #NCTE25 Closing Session, we bid a fond farewell to Tonya B. Perry as #NCTE President, welcomed Antero Garcia to the helm, and heard from Robin Wall Kimmerer about teachers' role in helping students to recognize, reciprocate, and tell stories about earthly gifts.
Loved my first signing (of prints) for my upcoming book TOVAโS SWEET SOLUTION (4/21/26) with @redcometpressbooks.bsky.social yesterday at #ncte!
Iโm speechlessโฆ.
MAYBE JUST ASK ME! is a 2026 NCTE Charlotte Huck recommended read. Thank you NCTE for this honor! Congratulations to all the other authors and illustrators who received Charlotte Huck and Orbis awards yesterday!!!!!
