At BAM on a Sunday with the best dressed delegates from BAMun for our mock conference. Excited to see these kids debate, confer, and find resolutions for global issues. #MUN @BAM_MS_Official @PaigeOch

So excited for Day 1 in the BamEx. Loved having kids in person again!! Ss made some guesses about me and we debated on different English content. So much fun seeing the collaboration and communication on the first day! @BAM_MS_Official @rdawson2213

I ❤️when students show curiosity and thought about different topics. Talking about how the brain works and the connectomes within is so interesting with 8th grade students. Sometime we talk about more than 📚books in English class! #connections @BAM_MS_Official @WIRED

Am I an English nerd? Why, yes I am. Am I excited for the @Newsela Teacher Trainer Program? Again, yes I am! I can’t wait to start and share all I learn about Newsela with my fellow educators! #FEEDtheBear @BAM_MS_Official

Yes! When I don’t like to do something, having someone tell me to do it anyway never helps. Kids feel the same. The “because I said so” or “because it’s required” is not a good reason to a kid. Humans, adults and kids alike, need to know why and feel connected. #NCTE20

“A good editor is the ultimate manipulator. A good editor makes manipulation feel like friendship.” Stroke the ego, ask questions, & get back to it. @JasonReynolds83 schools us on the editor-writer relationship. First drafts are bad but don’t be afraid to keep writing. #NCTE20

Powerful voices in today’s @brownbookshelf session. How educators can incorporate black authors and stories in our classes. It’s about identity, culture, joy, and of course, confluence. I have ❤️ reading and sharing the stories of @ibizoboi @LeahsMark & Tiffany Jewell #NCTE20
