Wow, what a kick-off to a great @ILAToday Intensive! Thank you Gloria Ladson-Billings for renewing our passion for culturally responsive pedagogy and inspiring us with Arundhati Roy’s powerful perspective on this pandemic. #ILAequity

Thank you so much @PunkRockMarthas! My four-year-old daughter will bloom with this book and I can’t wait to introduce this stellar book to my teachers 🥰. You all rock!

Students have and always will serve as my motivation, so I wanted them and their parents to be the first to hear directly from me about everything we will accomplish together. Read my letter to students and parents below: https://t.co/Lvt76c5vz4

@TiffanyRLarson1 @erinkburrell @AcademicChatter I wish I could say it ends after you get your PhD...it does not 😂😳🥺🤣

[Jessica Edwards @TheLitDoc]

@ctreadinginc Just sent this out to all of my grad students and advisees! Great idea for new (and existing) members 👍🏼

[Jessica Edwards @TheLitDoc]

Wow. Just wow. I knew this book was going to be amazing with the @mattdelapena and @theartoffunnews collaboration, but wow. I am moved. I am still thinking about it after reading it through for the fifth time and noticing new nuances and meanings. Love it ❤️

[Jessica Edwards @TheLitDoc]

@JoannaHoWrites And well-deserved! Looking forward to it going up even higher👆🏻

As librarian / author Molly Pearson says, “ Picture books are big ideas in small packages.” Which is why they can be used with older students as well! #escchat

Please don’t claim to care about the mental health of students then mandate standardized tests in the middle of a pandemic.

[Jessica Edwards @TheLitDoc]

@MacKidsBooks @100scopenotes Yay! So excited for this one 🤩

[Jessica Edwards @TheLitDoc]

@theartoffunnews @Scholastic @MichelleDrewes This is so wonderful! I just checked this out earlier today. I’m already a HUGE fan of your work, but after learning more about you and following you on Instagram, I am so happy to see kiddos have an opportunity to look up to you ❤️.

[Jessica Edwards @TheLitDoc]

Already registered! Who’s coming with me? Excited to see one of my research queens @gjladson 🤩

[ILA @ILAToday]

Although #culturallyresponsive instruction is student centered, creating an inclusive school environment that respects and reflects all learners begins with teachers.
