A reminder: Picture books - fiction, nonfiction, wordless, comic, funny, loving, mysterious, etc., are ALL critical to a child learning to enjoy reading and want to do it. Don't skip them, thinking chapter books are better. nancyebailey.com/2015/11/16/the…

BEST learning experience ever! You will not regret it:) I want to do it again!

Important! 🙌

My mentor Don Murray taught me this: Writing is more than just a matter of writing down what I know. Writing allows me to find out what I think. Writing is an act of discovery. That’s what makes it scary.

Had the chance to be there for one day- and once again loved my time there and the thinking it caused. Always new pieces to ponder. Thank you Light of Christ CS and Peter Liljedahl

I've been a math educator since 2003 and Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics by Peter Liljedahl has more potential to improve the way we teach mathematics than any other book I have ever read. Here's why I think we must all read it: robertkaplinsky.com/you-must-read-…

Adding this to my reading list

"Our writing scores have tanked!" The answer is not a program, it's real writing, daily writing, exploring genre, studying what real writers do!

Math is thinking. If you're curious, read Math-ish by Jo Boaler and Minds on Mathematics by Wendy Ward Hoffer Help young mathematicians discover their identity and develop agency. #metacognition #mathisthinking

I wish I could be there. I love listening to these two! ❤️

This will be a valuable session for all writing teachers!

When someone declares: “learning is _____,” it’ll point ya directly to why they value certain pedagogies. The more narrow the phrase in the blank, the more narrow their pedagogies will be. We need to talk more about what we believe learning is.
