World Changer.

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

I’m always asked about elected female role models.

There weren’t many when I was young except for Joan Bozer – community activist who won a seat in County Legislature.

Whenever I can, I honor this 90-year-old for her influence on me.

Joan, this one’s for you☕️🙌

[Mayor Sean M. Ryan @MayorSeanRyan]

Joan Bozer lived an incredible life. A political trailblazer, a staunch advocate for our parks system, and a champion for Buffalo.

It was an honor to work with her over the years, especially on the Carousel at Canalside. She will be greatly missed.

@seankirst @colindabkowski Joan Bozer is always at the right place at the right time. She's Batman.

So sad to learn that Buffalo lost one of its dearest and best souls today -- former Erie County Legislator Joan Bozer. Joan was also a top environmental advocate, and a founder of the National Association of Olmsted Parks. Proud to have had her as a friend.

Teachers, parents, students: I've decided to start a daily read-aloud of WONDER! Still figuring out platform, to be announced next week, but I was thinking at 12pm every weekday: I'll read a few chapters and add a little commentary. Stay tuned for details. #WONDERreadaloud

@ncte Loved chatting with everyone tonight! Happy writing to all. #NCTEChat #LitBankStreet

@ciccamy @ncte @ProfJPizzo @AuburnWrites Love this.

[Kate Augustus @augustus_kate]

@ncte @MsBridgesLHS Q5: Well for starters, not all writing pieces should be read by teachers. #NCTEChat #LitBankStreet

[Kate Augustus @augustus_kate]

Love this! Everyone has a story. Not everyone feels comfortable sharing it through writing and that's okay. #NCTEchat #LitBankStreet

[Ani Katz @anibkatz]

@ncte A4: All students want to learn/communicate, no matter their perceived stance toward reading. Images and videos, oral storytelling, and audio are important narrative forms. Make these mentors a central part of classroom writing practice #NCTEchat #WhyIWrite #LitBankStreet

@ncte @ReadKellyWrite Choice & Voice. Give students the choice to write what they want for the purpose that they choose. Show them that writing is powerful. #NCTEChat #WhyIWrite #LitBankStreet

[Kate Augustus @augustus_kate]

@MxEducation A teacher's dream! Choice is so key. #LitBankStreet #NCTEchat

[Kate Augustus @augustus_kate]

@ncte @RyanBretsch A2: Give writing a purpose! Step away from the mainstream curriculum to discuss why people write in the real world. #NCTEchat #WhyIWrite #LitBankStreet

[Kate Augustus @augustus_kate]

@sheena1832 @ncte @ProfJPizzo Yes! Great idea. Students need to see teachers write. Not just model writing in a lesson, but authentically write. #LitBankStreet #NCTEchat

[Kate Augustus @augustus_kate]

@MxEducation @ncte @ProfJPizzo I'm in! #LitBankStreet #NCTEchat

[Kate Augustus @augustus_kate]

Happy National Day on Writing. Celebrating in my classroom this week. Thinking about how to make writing in school feel less like a chore and more like a creative outlet. #NCTEchat #LitBankStreet
