If you’re at #LRA2024 and need something to do at 3pm, join us! Fostering “Good Trouble” through Criticality in Teacher Professional Learning Communities Fri, December 6, 3:00 to 4:30pm, Westin Peachtree Plaza, Floor: 7th, Augusta G

Abstract: This symposium looks at teacher professional learning communities supporting "good trouble" across four teacher education contexts: 1) a professional learning community of pre-service teachers foregrounding culturally-infused pedagogies; 2) first-year teachers in Georgia grappling with teaching literature in socially just ways; 3) reflections of teacher candidates on moments of advocacy in translanguaging read-alouds, and 4) practitioner inquiry into roleplaying games as speculative pedagogies.

@katemessner.bsky.social reveals The Trouble with Heroes was inspired by her own hikes of the 46 peaks of the Adirondack Mountains. She wrote poems; morphing to voice of Finn, charged w/ hiking the 46 peaks cuzof his vandalism of a graveyard, w/ the vandalized dead women's dog. #alan24 #ncte24

Ode to Ada Limón - what an amazing ending keynote for #NCTE24. Her phrase, "It is not so much that you don't have anything to say; it's that you have so much to say" hit deep and inspired this ode.

They Thought They Buried Us a book by NoNieqa Ramos ~ Recognizes teaching/writing is tough right now. We need to fight for diverse books to support those who need to see themselves; to open the eyes of those who need them the most. Build connections & coalitions to fight together. #alan24 #ncte24

This looks awesome! #alan24 As Pam Muñoz Ryan discusses what hope is - the unknown largeness that surrounds the despair. Hope is the spaciousness to be. We need to open our eyes wider.

To combat the hopelessness,vwe need to have a listening heart. Not a hard heart. And books do, and will, soften hearts.Stories is how we make sense of things, learn, and grow. Books are the light in these dark times. @dhonielle.bsky.social #weneeddiversebooks #alan24. Are the children alright?

@dhonielle.bsky.social keynote "The Kids Will Not Be Okay." We should be angry about the state of the world. It's tough to have hope. Many found safety and hope in books. We might not be ready for the fight to come. #alan24

Sounds obvious, but it's a good reminder from @pronounced-ing.bsky.social that writing is a skill that can be taught. Deconstructing good and bad writing models; providing constructive feedback; and a focus on revision are all doable in the classroom. #ncte24

How can we effectively fight book bans? Kenneth Lindblom gives some suggestions. #ncte24

LitProfSuz @litprofsuz.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

Kenneth Lindblom lays out the history of book banned & links it to white supremacy, privatization, & Christian nationalism. The goal? Create chaos for public schools. With the appearance of grass roots, the movement is coordinated.

“We should not be measuring school success based on a performance an a test. We should measure school success based on a low level of suspensions. In this way schools are truly trying to teach and reach Ss instead of marginalizing them in the name of ‘academic success.’” - Bryan Stevenson. #NCTE24
