A Few Reflections and Shares From NCTE 2019
For the last few days, I have had the privilege of attending the National Council of Teachers of English Convention in Baltimore, Maryland.

I'm sure there are others who will share in the upcoming weeks, but for now, in somewhat of a post-convention haze, I'm scrolling through my notes and pulling out some of my favorite quotes and ideas from my experiences.

Continuing to think about our mentor texts
While we have to ask ourselves questions about where books fit into our curriculum and how books support mindsets, now, more than ever, we should be asking how the books we use promote social justice and cultural awareness. These questions do not apply only to the books we offer students to read, but also the books we use to teach students to write.
