Kids are more likely to become lifelong readers when they see the adults around them reading, too! 📚💙 This summer, use @sorareadingapp to read together, find new stories, or enjoy audiobooks as a family. Whether it's 10 minutes or an hour, make reading part of your routine.

Just a few minutes of reading each day can help students stay on track all summer long! ☀️📚 Literacy expert Molly Ness reminds us that reading doesn't stop when school ends. With @sorareadingapp, students can access ebooks and audiobooks anytime, anywhere.

We recently had the pleasure of working with a group of instructional leaders from 17 districts, both near and far. The level of collaboration & thoughtful reflection over our two days together left us just as energized and grateful as we hope our participants were!

It’s been a great day at IU13, hosting our Regional Technology Integrators Collaboration! More than 50 educators from surrounding IUs came together to share ideas, discuss challenges, and learn from one another. Thank you to @BriskTeaching for sponsoring today’s event!

We recently hosted a powerful screening of Ted Dintersmith’s documentary, Multiple Choice, and the energy in the room was electric! Thanks to our partners at #pascl & Lancaster Stem Alliance, we’re not just talking about change- we’re building the network to make it happen!

The energy was high as teams dove into Breakout challenges to explore the resources in our lending library, followed by some serious "play" with Sphero Indi to practice inquiry skills. We can’t wait to hear about the excitement & curiosity they bring back to their classrooms!
