Such an important article about children's development! I'm hopeful my Elizabethtown College students will check it out!

Super excited that my @EtownCollege students' paper selfies are on display @HighLibrary as part of the Gen Z exhibit. These selfies help teachers learn about students' identities and also serve as a baseline writing sample. Would love for you to go check them out!
I so enjoyed my time at the 2026 Lancaster Learns conference! Enjoyed thinking about how I can apply all the good ideas to my teaching.
Thank you to the Keystone State Literacy Association Region IV [Capital Area, Lancaster Lebanon, York Adams] for inviting me to present this evening! So enjoyed our wonderful discussion about novels in verse.
My @EtownCollege preservice teachers may be particularly interested in this bill about cursive writing in PA!

Enjoyed learning about how the Caldecott came to be! ala150.org/the-caldecott-med…
Would love recommendations for professional books / textbooks that help secondary teachers learn about structured literacy. One of my @EtownCollege students will be doing (hopefully) a summer research project! on this topic! @ncte @ILAToday
My @EtownCollege #ED317 students are doing such a wonderful job with their first case study of the semester!
Final grades have been submitted. Thank you to my wonderful @EtownCollege students this semester! You were such a wonderful group to come back to!
I LOVE our current fellows and the great work they are doing in their classrooms - and the ways they will be able to inform the greater good on the @EtownCollege campus!

I'm looking to share some case study examples with some colleagues! If you write case studies for your college students, would you be willing to share a few with me? Thank y'all so much!
I'd be interested in hearing what other higher education faculty do to support their students' reading.
The four-part, Quickwrite protocol is designed to train students' brains to become proficient readers. @middleweb

Elizabethtown College was proud to host the 16th annual Landmark Conference Summer Research Symposium and more than 100 undergraduate researchers on Thursday!

Would love to talk to any independent booksellers or avid readers about selecting the perfect book for someone. I'm writing a freelance piece and would love some additional perspectives.
I’m writing a piece on tips for gifting the perfect book to a friend or family member. If you know of anyone who may be a good source, can you PM me? Thanks, y’all!
Just LOVING my #ED317 directed study students! They are fabulous and showing such a good work ethic and enthusiasm for learning! @EtownCollege
