Hey #NCTE23 ! Great new Notice and Note posters for free in HMH booth. Bob and I are in the booth from 2-3 on Friday! Come say hi!

First session done! Thanks #NCTE23 for a great first day! As always, Steph Harvey was brilliant!

So, now I'll be singing 'You Belong with Me' all day! This has so made me smile! Thanks Olivia Suter.

Even when demands on teachers continue to grow, they make the time to learn more. Let's remember in this month when we focus on thankfulness to be thankful for teachers. Thank you Becky Zeinert!

Working with teachers always makes me believe in tomorrow. Thanks Karmen Logan for the shout out. More thanks for all you do with kids!

Writers - of any genre - always appreciate kind words. Many thanks Principal Bo Ryan!

Well, I am in love with this!

Thanks West Des Moines teachers for a fabulous morning! @wdmcs #wdmcs

What happens as a result of knowledge gaps? Listen . . .

If they had questioned, that would have been fine. They made a declaration. And when I pointed out they were wrong, they apologized. But what if no one had pointed out to me their post? Those words would sit there as fact. Sigh.

I had a great two days in Katy ISD - Day 1 with Ts grades 1-5; day 2 with Ts 6-12. We discussed importance of developing SKILL and WiLL. And we laughed a lot!

Teachers amaze me - in the craziness of starting school or getting ready to start, you still make time to learn. The free webinar I'm doing on Aug 3 now has over 3,000 registered! Focus is vocabulary, comprehension, and engagement. Time 5 - 6 pm ET. Link: home.edweb.net/webinar/teach2…
