Really enjoying our sessions with Dr. Joseph Pearson today! Learning lots of KY history—especially with regards race, religion, and gender. Fascinating stuff! #KEDCgrants

In our family, we love our National parks! It has always been fun to center vacations around visiting National parks. Here’s a couple of my favorites, spanning a few decades. 😂 #MyParkStory @NatlParkService @KEDCGrants @kedc_epic @KyWriteRight @YellowstoneNPS @MountRushmoreNM

@1Conforti This season has been so fun to watch!

To me, KEDC Grants is connection. I have had the privilege to meet and work with some of the finest educators in our field through these grants. It means so much to be able to email or text someone (or many someones) and know that I can trust what they say! @KEDCGrants @kedc_epic

[Ashley Watts @therealawatts]

Survivor stories are so important to making history relevant to our students! Thank you for these sessions, @KEDCGrants and @kedc_epic @KyWriteRight @DrJWEvansJr I feel much more confident tackling the “tough history” after these conversations!

[Ashley Watts @therealawatts]

Really enjoy our sessions with Carey Franklin and Mindspark! Great pick-me-up during the week! @KyWriteRight @DrJWEvansJr @jmattrock1 @KEDCgrants @KEDC_EPIC

Grateful for another Saturday spent with my ASPIRE family-can’t believe we only have a few weeks left of this life-changing (for me!!) grant. I really needed this refresher! @kedc_aspire @KEDCGrants @KEDC1
