10 Real-Talk Tips for Making It Through This School Year Relatively Intact bit.ly/40Zx0he

Check out my newest blog for some of my top tips to make this year great! knowledgequest.aasl.org/10-real-talk... What is a piece of advice you'd give to new or returning librarians? #Skybrarians #SchoolLibrary #TLChat

This pretty much sums up my philosophy of education, especially on this first-day eve. #Skybrarians #TLChat #EduSky

I was chosen as a KQ blogger this year! I've been wanting to for a long time, and I'm excited to be doing it alongside @rgrov1013.bsky.social. I can't wait to see what we each put out into the world. Here is my debut blog. Enjoy reading about becoming a learner again! 😁 #TLSky #Skybrarians

I get it. Libraries are expensive, and librarians are expensive. Our students & future leaders need all of the information literacy, media literacy, and opportunities to read deeply and widely they can get. Curriculum won't save us, testing won't, & AI sure as Hell won't. Fund libraries. #TLSkyChat

This article has some great takeaways abt teens' media literacy for librarians and educators. My takeaway: the power of peer fact checking #EduSky #Skybrarians

My team and I were chosen for the Library Luminary Award by our district library leaders! It is only given to 1 library in the district (of about 200) each year, and we are so very honored. Who knew that hanging out with teenagers and being absolutely ridiculous could earn awards? #Skybrarian

So excited for #aasl25! Who else is going??

"It’s an easy starting point & can come up in really any class when kids are sharing information,” @drtlovesbooks.bsky.social says in this Publishers Weekly story. “You can just ask, ‘Where did you hear that?’ or, ‘How do you know that that’s true?’" #EduSky www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

A fascinating read. Our ideas about queerness continue to evolve, and that's a wonderful thing.

I love this annual tradition of making paper snowflakes with @mamagilbs.bsky.social and hanging them on our kitchen cabinets. Easy and fun!

Oh, my darlings. It's almost here. The marathon of children's books of 2024. You ain't seen nothing like this before! Get ready for 31 Days, 31 Lists, starting December 1st! #kidlit 📚👍 afuse8production.slj.com/2024/11/30/i...

Here are some snapshots of the last 2 weeks in my library: mini-golf with engineering, performances from orchestra and choir, and a cozy scene with our 2 mascots SkElsa and Sir Gingerbuns. It's been busy and wonderful. 😁 Hope everyone has a great break! #EduSky #TLSky

AI writing detectors aren’t the answer, says ELA teacher @jenroberts.bsky.social —they’re too unreliable. Here’s how she promotes (and checks for) authenticity in student work instead. 📝 #EduSkyAI

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who knows that Democrats always grow the economy, and Republicans always fuck it up while only focusing on making the rich richer. We have to break this idiotic cycle.

The good fight

Several Montana Republicans joined Democrats on Tuesday to block a measure that would have barred transgender lawmakers from using the state Capitol bathrooms that aligned with their gender identities.

Apparently I'm an extraordinaire. 💁🏻‍♀️ Thinking about making this my official bio. ❤️ #TLSky #Skybrarians #EduSky

We hope to make it and see you there! @rgrov1013.bsky.social #TLSky #Skybrarians

This is what I've been saying! School librarians are leaders. #TLSky #Skybrarians "We have to...put [librarians] in positions of leadership, and recognize that librarians are leaders in every context, not just when it has to do with literacy and digital citizenship."

I was a HS math teacher, and every day @rgrov1013.bsky.social (who had already switched to library from a MS English classroom) would come home talking abt how wonderful her day was. Trig proofs just didn't give me the same joy. 😜 @librarianjones.bsky.social #TLSky #Skybrarians

I'd like to order some precedented times for a change, thank you.

Hey EduSky and School Librarians: Does this sound like your school? Does this sound like your classroom? Does this sound like our educational system? 🤔

School Library in a Nutshell:

I'm in Texas visiting my extended family, and though I ❤️ them dearly, sometimes visits come with xtra baggage. My family tends very conservative, and I didn't come out until well into adulthood. On this trip, I'll see some family for the first time since coming out. It can be easy to revert... 1/

A few recent events have me thinking some deep thoughts about what truly makes a school library and what it means to be welcoming. More to come later, but is a library a sum of its resources, or is it more? #skybrarians #LibraryLife
