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. ♥️ @TCTELA @readingtease #TCTELA23

@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 🌱. #TCTELA23

One of the greatest gifts a teacher can give students is to equip them to be literate in many disciplines. Read like a historian or a mathematician. Write like a scientist or a literary critic. Speak the languages of scholars. #PISDlearns #ThisIsAVID #DisciplinaryLit

Meet Kevin. He stars in my newest book, The Bruce Swap. Coming in May 2021 Kevin is Bruce’s identical cousin and he LOVES fun! After a mixup over which bear is which, Bruce’s family thinks Bruce has become FUN...but they soon find out that too much fun is no fun at all.

Finished Three Keys yesterday by @kellyyanghk and I loved every page. I can't wait to put this book in the hands of students, preservice teachers, and teachers. There were so many great lines that made me laugh and cry. Thank you for a wonderful story.
