Starting soon! We’re far back in the Convention Center. Follow the KPop to Room 703!

Good morning, #NCTE25! This is the morning where you can meet 2 of the most amazing 5th graders around (including 1 who is related to me -- no bias 😉). Please come by our 8:15 am session "A Future We Can Dream Boldly About: Creating Shared Futures with and for Asian American Children" CCC Rm. 703

Reposting #NCTE25 - Come see us!!! 💜💜💜

Good morning, #NCTE25! If you're looking for an 11am session, check out my session "Dreaming as a Universal Language: How to Encourage Bold Dreams through Multilingual Storytelling" w/ amazing author/illustrators, Lynnor Bontigao, Nicole Chen & Pat Tanumihardja! CCC Rm 501.

On my way! Seeing scholastic bags & hearing people talk about conference presentations. Clearly I’m not the only one on this flight headed to #NCTE2025.

Join us for our December slow chat! This will be an informal #literacies touchpoint before the start of the holidays. Let's continue the conversation!

Hi Friends! If you'll be at #NCTE2025, come find me in one of these sessions. On Saturday morning, if you come to our session, you'll also get to see one of my favorite 10 year olds.

A6. I love this question too & have been missing so much community. So a #literacies grounded community feels like a beautiful future to live into. It’s been nice to see friends in the space, even if my engagement isn’t what it once was w/ mama duties 💜

A5.2 Oh and also opportunities for cross-generational #literacies chats, to support grad students & junior faculty! 💜

A5. I’d love to do some collective thinking around #literacies in community building, advocacy and supporting identity development (of course I would 😂) and I love the IDEA of a book club although #lowbandwidth 😅

A2: Something I think #literacies chats do in conversation with thoughtful guest scholars is present asset based lenses for many types of learners - once you learn to see the deficit lenses here, it’s easier to spot them in research 🧐

What a great question! I really miss chatting in general & would love to figure out a way to work #literacies and other chats back into a part of my digital life. I don’t have a real answer but I think that low demand chat topics that can engage a broad audience are important.

A3. #Literacies has been such a professional home for me. Too many connections to count but grateful for them all. It feels like a gentle hug & reminder that I’m still a literacies scholar even when my work focuses beyond literacies.

A1. I can’t remember! 😅(I think that means I’m old, but def participated lots as a junior faculty member & have co-hosted. Love #literacies & virtual chats as spaces to connect and build community 💜

Hey #literacies fam, it’s Betina checking in from Coast Salish lands (Seattle specifically). I’m a prof or teacher education & will be in & out bc I’m also a #mamascholar doing pick up right now.

Also appropriate for the National Day on Writing, my "keynote" at #CCTEFall2025 "Applying Our Professional Identities & Expertise to Engage in Advocacy" was a facilitated series of reflections on professional identities, expertise, current contexts, future dreaming, spheres of influence & action.

It's the National Day on Writing! Here's #WhyIWrite: Reflective writing gives me a prism through which I can see myself, acknowledge my struggles, and offer myself grace. Writing makes me more whole and it makes me a better person. professorhsieh.edublogs.org/2025/10/20/t...

Well, friends, I am coming back (slowly) to professional social media bc I miss community & sharing this side of myself. Catch me next week back in California at #CCTE25 & virtually at the #Literacies homecoming hosted by @writinglit.bsky.social (late but better late than never) on 10/28.

There are some days where all the things to do (professionally & personally) feel really hard and heavy, but I am grateful that writing is a site of healing for me and that it's a big (& one of the best) part(s) of my professional life.

As I just said on CNN, my father's parents were Nakba survivors. I don't want Israeli children to live in fear and I don't want Palestinian children to starve to death. There is nothing anyone could do to make me put nationalistic talking points above basic human rights.

Also friends, the other day, I was thinking about how much I miss professional community in social media spaces. I haven’t found a humanizing social networking outlet that fills the hole left by the loss of Twitter. Just putting that out there. It feels lonely w/o that community.

This may be my favorite solo-authored piece ever, using found poetry, word clouds and narrative to contribute to a portrait of two #AsianAmerican teachers and their experiences with racialization prior to and through the COVID-19 pandemic. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

It went well, Friends. Thanks for sending good energy my way 💜

I'm giving a 5-minute TED-style "EduTalk" tonight & tell me why, with all that's going on in the world, this is at the top of my stress list right now...😭🫠

Submitted two manuscripts today & as an added bonus, saw that the manuscript we had given up on, after no movement since we submitted it in May 2024, is in peer review & we're waiting for a decision. #academiclife

The AERA @slrsigaera.bsky.social Leadership Team is delighted to release the 1st CRITICAL LANGUAGE EDUCATION SEED RESEARCH GRANT! This grant opportunity aims to advance critical scholarship in language education. Come to our SIG’s business meeting to learn more about this opportunity.

Feeling a little discouraged about poor evaluation (response rates & overall ranking with sideways comments not related to me) process & results from last quarter. Literally the first time in my entire career. Rough way to start a week 🫠

Our 1st session on Saturday at #NSTASpring25 is at 8:30am in Conv Ctr 203B Come learn how to meaningfully intertwine your instruction with the cultural lives of your students & their communities! We will explore a powerful technique for culturally responsive instruction . bsky.app/profile/phil...

A few years ago I visited the National Museum of African American History & Culture with my grandparents. When we stepped out of the building my grandmother kept repeating the words “I lived it. I lived it. I lived it.” She’s still here. That history is still in her bones. You can never erase that.

“History has shown us that authoritarian regimes target academics first, fearing the power of inquiry, free expression and the pursuit of truth. We do not choose the times in which we live, but we do choose how we act in those times.” www.tuftsdaily.com/article/2025...

In case anyone missed it: three new mini-zines/resorces: • Ideas for promoting our projects, events, etc. beyond social media • Writing prompts for addressing this moment • Action ideas for people new to organizing Full text + printable PDFs to print/fold/share all at: guante.info/zines

It’s just a fact that most of us are not particularly brave. But we *are* social—and we can become braver when someone invites us into action.

Does anyone else have the experience of working on a presentation from a paper draft & realizing that now you want to completely reorganize the draft which was almost ready to submit? No, just me. Okay. Thought so. 😭🫠

Classroom/Library enrollment was down pretty bad in February. National chaos and uncertainly likely has something to do with it. Can you help me make sure that all the educators on bluesky know Skype a Scientist exists and is ready to connect them with scientists? Every RT helps! #EduSky #STEMEd

A federal judge on Sunday ordered the Trump administration to respond to allegations that U.S. immigration enforcement "willfully disobeyed" an order halting the deportation of a Rhode Island doctor.

I don't think enough people appreciate that the crimes of South America's dictatorships were done with the backdrop of an active urban guerrilla insurgency. If we're already disappearing student protest leaders and brutalizing German tourists, what will happen when people start actually resisting?
