It’s the conversations we have with children around books that matter the most @donalynbooks #ILA19 #heartstringtruths

[Dr. Mary Howard @DrMaryHoward]

Everyone has a story. We need to check our privilege. We need to check our power. We need to listen with compassion and learn from our students!

@tianasilvas hits it out of the park: “Social-Emotional Learning can’t take place in our classrooms if we don’t check our privilege.” #ILA19

[Amanda Patterson @KERC_AM]

@geralddessus brings it to the point: Social Justice is messy. SEL is messy. We have to give our students tools to deal with their trauma. #ILA19 #truthtalks

[Dr. Mary Howard @DrMaryHoward]

Nell Duke closing thoughts:

Our field is in a very tumultuous time so we must commit to civility even in the face of the uncivility of others. Many people talking about science of reading have never opened a research article or done so w/o a confirmation bias.

You are not ever going to convince me you only teach certain kids - we don’t pick and choose kids, we take and advocate for every single one!
