We know it feels like the we just came out of the NYSEC conference a few weeks ago, because we DID! And here we are again at the NCTE convention in Columbus, OHIO. NYSEC board members are ready to present and learn together!

Our final keynote speaker, Jacqueline Woodson left the room in awe and amazement as she shared her story. On the National Day on Writing, Woodson told us, “I write because I have questions not becuase I have answers.” You are a GIFT! Thank you for sharing yourself so freely!

It was wonderful to celebrate the National Day on Writing together. Thank you Leaf and Pen for creating a safe space for us to write! It was magical. #growingwithNYSEC2023

Not only is it our final day of our 2023 Conference: Sowing Seeds, Growing Justice: Your Stories Matter. It’s also the National Day of Writing. Our members have taken time to learn, reflect, and grow. National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) @nysec_gram
