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!

@Steve_R_Price I adore Ethel!

@LBoydEDU @susangbarber I love that we were together to hear him read at the Savannah Book Festival this year.

@Steve_R_Price Clearly you don't teach at a public high school, @Steve_R_Price.

@erik_palmer @susangbarber And, neither are drag shows or gender-affirming care!

Internet has been out in our school since 10:15 this morning. Stopped refreshing and hoping around noon and just grabbed blankets and books to read outside.

@MelAlterSmith You are a rock star, my friend! Thank you for sharing.

@Steve_R_Price So jealous! Our bakery 2 blocks away closed. My life is less wonderful as a result.

As a HS teacher, I understand Shepherd's analysis of the supportive role of hoodies for students in the midst of the pandemic (10 of 120 students were out for 5 days in the past week). However, I draw the line when hoodie-wearing students complain of the heat in GA in Aug.

@MelAlterSmith @wwnorton @susangbarber @LNCharter @WWNortonHS @nortoneducation Can I be in your class, Mel?

I have the incredible honor of teaching incredible students was an both AP Lang and AP Lit. So, this is my second year with these kiddos who are officially seniors, and this is their LAST first day of school. #APLitchat #lastfirstday

@susangbarber I teach only AP courses (Lang, Lit, Seminar, and Research), and I read aloud every day--even if it is only a stanza or a paragraph. Hearing language is so powerful. Reading a paragraph or stanza out loud provides students an entry point and instills confidence, which is crucial

Challenge engenders change and builds empathy.

[Steve Price @Steve_R_Price]

Unfortunate that some need to hear this nowadays, but part of an ongoing education is learning things that conflict with what you thought you knew. That’s a good thing. Growth. I’m unapologetically glad as a teacher when people encounter new, conflicting ideas.

@susangbarber @stmichaelhayden @CarolJago I use the metaphor of sports/arts practice, which my students get since many play on teams or perform in the arts. Each day, they practice, study plays/music/scripts, eat healthful foods, and drink plenty of water. None earns direct points on the scoreboard or in judging.
