Love when I run into folks at conferences and the first thing they say is, “Oh, where is your cute little one?! I remember at the last conference we were at you had your little one with you!” Yes, my toddler is my conference sidekick and probably has a more prominent reputation than I do 😂

Please don't tell kids that old "First Thanksgiving" myth and pass it off as actual history. Share books like these this week instead.

Kindness cannot exist without justice.

If you are in a teaching context that is hostile towards terms like DEI, diversity, etc. we can change our language. Linguistic diversity? No, linguistic accuracy. It's more accurate to portray diversity as variety, accuracy, authenticity. @clemonsaris.bsky.social @ujuanya.bsky.social #actfl24

Join us this morning as we talk about culturally responsive ways to teach foundational skills! Swing by our student session: 9:30-10:45, 259A #NCTE24

Inclusion of this group at #NCTE24 is dangerous for Palestinian presenters and a lot of Black presenters and attendees whose valid criticisms of Israel are labeled hateful. Yikes. Consider researching and signing. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
