Reflections From NCTE 2024

If you have ANY questions or interest in more about what I’ve written, please reach out. Connecting with passionate educators fuels me now more than ever.

Ending the Year With Grace: From the Archives

This time of year is a frenzied leap from task to task, without the joy or benefit of reflection. So, for today’s “From the Archive” post, I thought I’d slow myself down long enough to explore ways to savor and enjoy these last days with my students. Enjoy!
