Join Me at the NCTE 2024 Annual Convention! 🌟
I’m thrilled to announce my upcoming speaking engagements at the NCTE 2024 Annual Convention! This year, I’ll be sharing insights and exploring themes of hope, healing, and humanizing educational practices through various sessions. Whether you’re passionate about teaching, poetry, or embracing progressive literacy, there’s something for everyone. Here’s a quick overview of where you can find me during the conference.
Bring a tea or coffee to our meet-up before the Kate McKinnon event on Friday at 7am just outside/hallway of the event.
