Join @brandon_abdon, #APLang Chief Reader Michael Neal, and #APLit Chief Reader @Steve_R_Price as they discuss the process of scoring the exams and some insights from this year's reading. 📝
I know I'm late to this book, but I just finished _Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow_ by @ZevinGabrielle . It blew my mind--and more importantly, it broke my heart. I have not cried over a book in a long time. Tenderness and truth and terrible things lie so close together....

So, just going to drop this observation: When I read the Gospels, it appears that the people that Jesus rebuked the most were not women--but the religious leaders who were so bent on keeping the law that they angrily missed the love and life of the kingdom.
Steve Price is the chief reader for #applit and his words at the close of this years reading should resonate for all of us who teach--tell your stories about students who can read and write and analyze challenging and complex texts. . .
My message to the #APLit readers after our successful 2023 reading.
Thank you, everyone, for what you've done for the students this week, reading carefully, accurately, and respectfully, from the first essay to the last. See you in 2024. Until then, be a #proudteacher!
Great story on the first graduating cohort of the Honors College at Mississippi College—so proud of their accomplishments, so interested in their futures. l.smartnews.com/p-7BZ2o/l2z5…

Spent 10 days in New Zealand with this years MC Honors College trip—the scenery was stunning, the people, so friendly, the experiences, so enriching. We learned so much about culture, science, literature, history…and each other! @MissCollege @mc_engphil

To all who ARE teachers or are considering education as a career, Brian’s piece has some deep wisdom about and an honest assessment of the challenges of the “long haul.”
Some good, ole truth telling in this essay:

So proud of the HON 101 group—they did a great group project and created an infographic that demonstrated trans-disciplinary thinking and articulated a strong academic purpose for the necessity of service—particularly the forming of relationships! @MissCollege @mc_engphil

The Washington Post today lays out the problems with distribution of federal funds in Mississippi in painful clarity. The MS government is simply actively working not to fairly and equitably distribute those monies. washingtonpost.com/sports/20…
