I’m loving this session from fellow board member, Dr. Shona Rose. Modeling how to conduct meaningful writing conference, so that students take agency of their writing craft. ♥️

@pinatadirector reminded us multiple times that she grew up in Mathis, Texas—population 5,034. Her rural upbringing and knowledge of UIL made me smile. When our small town teachers tell us we have something to say, hope sprouts 🌱.

@TCTELA @ProfessorNana @tctela @ProfessorNana There really are no words to adequately share how impactful she was in the lives of so many teachers, readers, librarians. She touched my life. Sympathy and prayers to her family and closest friends.

Our deepest sympathies go out to the family, friends, and colleagues of Dr. Lesesne, @ProfessorNana. She was a valued friend, leader, and literacy advocate. We will miss her dearly 🤍

Take what I know from research and what I know about children's texts. Balance that with what I know about DAP, standards, and individual needs. Voilà, I can teach literacy skills in purposeful, effective ways with children's texts as the springboard.
