"Somebody needs the story that only you can tell." @nikkigrimes9 #alan2020 #NCTE20

Big takeaway from this last #ALAN20 panel: YALit welcomes activism because it prompts us to ask questions and have the uncomfortable conversations. We need more of this in ELA 🔥 #disrrupttexts Mark Oshiro - JASMINE IS HAUNTED out now! @KCjohnsonwrites #malavikakannan ALAN

Love how 6th grade science is incorporating creative writing into their astronomy unit! My kiddo even popped over to share his work with me before he shared with his class. Such a great way to encourage higher level thinking. @cybulski_chris #smspride #engage109

Schools should “offer curriculum that reflects students' culture and history. “[Students] should see teachers, see administrators that look like them. And certainly, curriculum should include them beyond one month of celebration... teachers [need] to understand their own biases”

This is a detailed thread about #BarnesAndNoble’s announcement to stop stocking hardcovers of many new books. This affects historically marginalized authors, debuts, and MG the most. Buy indie! Request these books for your libraries!
