Come join us!

A1: My favorite professional book from last year was Cornelius Minor's We Got This. I read it with my preservice teachers and they loved it as much as I did. #NCTEchat

A2: Cultivating Genius by Gholdy Muhammad dramatically changed the way I structure conversations around literacy with preservice teachers. I learned so much! #NCTEchat

A2: @aprilbakerbell's work around linguistic justice has also been a huge part of my learning this past year #NCTEchat

A4: My Hope Education Dept preservice teachers are often the first to hear about what I've been learning/reading/thinking about. I love when I can collaborate with my local teacher friends on new ideas! Eric Wilkinson Karen Rowe @jeskiwiet Audra Bolhuis beckycalvert #NCTEchat

A6: Continuing to offer easy to access professional development experiences (i.e. events, book discussions, etc). #NCTEchat
