Leah Thomas is passionate about honoring student voice and identity through writing workshop and early literacy. She believes that for children to see themselves as writers, they must be trusted with autonomy and supported as they explore their writing processes. By centering intentional identity development, foundational skills instruction, and a brave classroom community, Leah nurtures young writers as they grow in both skill and craft. The Gateway Writing Project strengthens her belief that teachers who write are better writing teachers.

I tried to post this slice from 40 years ago last week, but I don’t know whether it ever worked. I’m trying again. The slice is part of my long series of memoirs about all the jobs I’ve ever had, and I need advice. I appreciate any thoughts you might have on whether this anecdote is interesting, or only to those who were there. Thank you.
Hi there! Just a quick note to let you know this was sitting in our spam folder. I fished it out (though it feels like it’s a day late and a dollar short).
Please reach out to whoever the weekly host is if your comment doesn’t post immediately. Chances are it got stuck in spam.
I wish I knew why this kept happening to you. My apologies!
Will the ending days of summer gracefully transition to the next season? Read on.
