Reading at The Bookworm

Amanda Marek reads from,"Teaching Spanish and Learning Latino

Last night (April 27), six of the authors from What Teaching Means: Stories from America's Classrooms joined us and an audience about over 50 to read from the book and have an inspiring conversation about teaching and education. Susan Martens, Todd Percinek, and Laurie Zum Hofe came over from Lincoln. Arica Carlson and Tracey Kovar, from right here in Omaha, joined us as well. And, Amanda Marek (picture at left) drove all the way down from Minnesota. 

We were humbled and overjoyed by the response the book got from the people who gathered to share the night with us. We are looking forward to having more conversations with readers and the other writers in the coming months. Marni and I are planning events in Wisconsin and Minnesota for early June. We are scheduled to appear at National Council of Teachers of English/National Writing Project conference in Las Vegas in November. Hopefully, more events will come together. Stay tuned.
