We traveled to Las Vegas in November to attend the NCTE (National Council of Teachers of English) Annual Conference and the National Writing Project Annual meeting.
Marni and I were ecstatic and grateful to be joined by several authors from What Teaching Means at a NWP session focused on the power of teacher narratives. Our session was attended by about 50 people from all over the country. It was a great opportunity to share the stories from the book but even more important to encourage other teachers to tell their stories.
We'd like to thank authors Heather Adkins, Alicia Macauly, Susan Martens, and Mary Powell for joining us for the session. And another shout out to authors Danielle Helzer and Lauren Gatti for joining us in Vegas to simply hang out and talk about teaching and all kinds of other things.
