The ICTE Executive Board shared our Strategic Plan at #ncte22 today with our SCOA affiliates. We highlighted how we are focusing on living our mission and vision.

Bright and early! Your ICTE President and President-elect headed to NCTE. Ready to connect and collaborate to bring you back all the learning.

Definitely not why I came to NCTE, but a perk for sure! Sisters are literally the best. These two prove it. 👯‍♀️

And yes, my girls are mad I saw Elsa. (Don’t worry, they get a signed book from her.)
