The Challenge of Taking a Sick Day as a Teacher The Challenge of Taking a Sick Day as a Teacher

Sick again, so I’m reposting this article about being sick and missing school as a teacher. Luckily it’s just nasal congestion and should pass quickly, but even one day away feels like too much. #TeacherLife #SickDay #RestAndRecover #EduSky #Substack

NCTE is still accepting until 1/29, but NJCTE is closed for this year.

NJCTE Proposals are due this Friday, 12/13! Check your email for the details! #NJCTE #EDUsky

It's really hard to rebuild your PLN on a new platform, so thank you for being here with me! I'm excited to learn and grow together on Bluesky! #EduSky

She's my awesome friend and former student teacher. She's an incredible person to know, and big things are in her future!

I loved what Ada Limon had to say about writer's block in her talk at #NCTE24 today: "It is not so much that you don't have anything to say; it's that you have so much to say."

We have to take time to sort through the overwhelmingness of it all, time to let one good idea at a time shine through.

I would definitely say it was a good balance of the two!

Goodbye, Boston and #NCTE24! See you next year in Denver, Colorado for #NCTE25

Carol Jago stands at a podium giving a speech.

To kick off #CEL24, @caroljago.bsky.social engages us on “Challenged and Challenging Texts and Teaching.” Being in conversation with other literacy leaders is invigorating and pushes me to know and do better.

It's another visual interpretation of turtles all the way down.

"The younger humans are watching us...I want to be accountable to them." Ada Limón #NCTE24

Incredible way to end #NCTE24 with poet laureate, Ada Limón!

"Your NCTE family is here...NCTE is year round...You are not alone." #NCTE24

"Being an educator in our current environment is tough. You are not alone." #NCTE24

I can't believe it's already time for the Sunday General Session at #NCTE24. 😭

We do so much more than just teach reading and writing! We are teaching them to "adult" -Penny Kittle #NCTE24

Another full house at this college writing session featuring one of my former students and other mentors! #NCTE24

Amazing round table discussions about fighting censorship and book bans! #NCTE24

Wake Up! How to Mobilize Against Book Banning is starting now in Room 102A! #NCTE24

First time discussing the forthcoming WWII book in public. Many thanks to Dr. Nick Mueller of the National WWII Museum for being a fantastic conversation partner.

Thank you to the important work of everyone on this panel to prevent book banning. Free people read freely #NCTE24

Thank you to everyone who came out for our presentation today on student-driven instruction! I was honored to be part of this group of educators as part of the NCTE Literacy Assessment Committee! #NCTE24
