Had a blast sharing my “Become an Author and More with @BookCreatorApp” session at the @GCTEnglish conference. Most attendees this was their first time exploring Book Creator and are excited to use it with their students. Rocked my Ambassador shirt for good vibes.

You know what kind of schools kids are genuinely oppressed in? Chaotic ones. Ones where misbehaviour is tolerated and children live in fear. And who suffers the most? The most vulnerable. I have zero patience for people who put their ideological hobbyhorses before children’s safety.
A great opening night for the Eagles! Led by Izzie Gamble’s 16 points, GC jumped to a 15-3 lead and defeated Mercer 41-32. Ella Wise and Delaney Callahan added 8 each. Good luck to an incredibly hard working Mercer team.

🧁🧁Delicious meta-analysis on the impact of motivational reading interventions on reading achievement and motivation. Largest effect sizes for studies using attribution training and interest-based practices, but other intervention types also had effects. https://t.co/tQedEhrHYV
Every day, leaders have to deal with the selfish pressures of outside parties to prioritize the short term over the long term. It takes unbelievable courage to choose the important over the urgent.
