@MrsMeredithNKHS @pennykittle @LindaMRief @NCTE I couldn't help but note the irony being in sessions encouraging advocacy and being responsive to learners when NCTE failed to respond to teachers as Ss. Allow us to register ahead of time for sessions so appropriately sized rooms can be planned.

So much inspiration at #ncte18 but learning from and meeting Penny Kittle and Kelly Gallagher was definitely a highlight @ Houston Convention Center Hotel https://t.co/krwl5HsmBG

@NAEmmanuele @_MGlackin @ncte Love this idea! Can you share a file of what you had the kids read for each?

[Mrs. Avissato @AvissatoEnglish]

@coreyschneid @BEHS_SDE Sweet! I have to teach the play in the spring, so maybe we can take a field trip 😉

@Imaginedu Counterpoint: CEEAL is about helping kids recognize what effective writers do, giving names to the craft.

Picasso: "Without great solitude, no serious work is possible." In a plugged-in world, can students---and teachers---find solitude?

Students struggle with writing when they don’t know or care enough about their topic. Have them read before setting fingers to keyboard.

[Kelly Gallagher @KellyGToGo]

It doesn't matter what you grade, or how you grade, if your kids are not writing a lot.
