Just a sample, but I’m pretty proud of the work my 7th grade Social Studies students did for their exploration of Ancient China.

NCBD: Only one book and it’s a banger! You’ve never seen Diana like this before. 🔥

One of my all time favorite baseball players to watch. Not only will his stolen base record never be broken, but I was able to witness two of them in the 80’s when he played for New York. And, at that game, he took the first pitch of the ball game deep and gone! Rest In Power, Rickey.

After being out sick all week, I decided to end each class by getting into the holiday spirit a little. Here are the three songs that made the playlist. A little something for everyone. 😎 …and, yes, classes broke out into song. 😊

“Hey, you guys!” Grabbed this from Paul Thomas’s wall. I feel more festive already.

Never fell into writing coma before. Glad Julie Valley Schoenborn was there to capture the moment. 😂

Locked into writing once again. My playlist:

Another round of albums while I write. 🤘🏻

Whoa! Grammarly noticed I’ve been cranking out the writing this past week.

Another day of writing for grad school. Shout out to Julie Valley Schoenborn for creating space for me. My motivational playlist:

Passing time. Friday. 2:15 pm. Standing in the hallway. A student stops at a distance, smiles, and said, “Mr. Schoenborn, I really appreciate you as a teacher.” I pat my heart to show my appreciation and say, “Thank you, that means more than you know.” Middle school is a good place to be.

That’s 12!

How many NIN albums did it take me to write my second Critical Research Review? This many. 😎

We ready. #TNF

Snow day. Locking in to grad school work with the NIN discography. It begins with this.

True story.

Ev helped with our traditional Leftover Turkey Pot Pie baking meal. Can’t wait to dig in. Yum!

NCBD: The 3 books on top are outstanding. Ultimate Spider-Man will be in contention for series of the year. But, of you’re a Twilight Zone fan like me, Hyde Street is in that vein and turns the volume up to 11! The new TMNT run is not your Nickelodeon cartoon and Donnie’s introduction is 🔥.

Top comments during P/T Conferences. 1) “You are my/our child’s favorite teacher.” 2) “You explain everything in a way I can understand and you give us time to learn it.” 3) “Thank you for supporting my child. We’ve seen a big jump from last year.” I am tired. But, this is one proud teacher.

Thrilled to announce that the ink is dry on the contract for my first Keynote Address. I am excited to kick off a day of learning for The Gulf Coast Conference on the Teaching of Writing in July!

Always fun to see our book out in the world and next to so many authors we admire. #NCTE2024 #readingmatters

Had a GREAT time at #NCTE24! Time to head back to Michigan for me. Keep up the inspiring work, folx. When you’re planning proposals for next year do this: Take a risk. Reach out. Invite ideas. Encourage conversations. Celebrate connections. Be well. I’ll see you soon. With gratitude Andy

“We have a country who treats you well if you are rich and guilty but not if you are poor and innocent.” Bryan Stevenson, author of JUST MERCY. #NCTE24

“We should not be measuring school success based on a performance an a test. We should measure school success based on a low level of suspensions. In this way schools are truly trying to teach and reach Ss instead of marginalizing them in the name of ‘academic success.’” - Bryan Stevenson. #NCTE24

Student Writing as Teaching and Learning, Not Evaluation: And Why the "Research Paper" Mindset Fails Students (Still) radicalscholarship.com/2024/11/19/s...

Some of the BEST #NCTE24 moments are the unexpected ones. My favorites this year are the ones with my #NWP folx, random hallway hugs and chats, and simply listening to a room full of writing mentors talk about writing.

Julie and I strolled around the city a bit. We found an Irish pub and both felt at home. ❤️

Had a good #NCTE24 turn out this morning. 🔥
