It’s a beautiful day to sit at the @kdlibrary.bsky.social and write.

A student recently asked about resources to help her as a novice research writer in #education. Any recommendations?

Happy to share some recent writing: Writing the Methods: Rethinking Research Paper Conventions in First-Year Writing url:https://read.dukeupress.edu/pedagogy/article-abstract/25/2/173/399734/Writing-the-MethodsRethinking-Research-Paper

Any other scholars out there tasked with teaching SEAE grammar? I’d love to build a small network of people to consult on obscure grammar questions.

I think this is brilliant and should be passed on to the Education Secretary nominee.

Anyone interested in playing game? Here’s the question: How is education like professional wrestling? e.g. All sessions are scripted but don’t always go as planned. I know you’ve got better ideas!

Thanks for the Starter Pack @laurie7mc.bsky.social ! 🙏
