After a thoughtful conversation with Amy Rasmussen yesterday, I’m diving into the book she co-wrote with William Eastman. Authentic literacy in secondary spaces is about identity. Do teachers see themselves as readers, writers, and communicators? Do our students identify this way?

How to talk #identity, #diversity, and #justice. Pre-order your copies today! Bulk discounts available. @bnBaybrook @bnFirstColony @bnCorpusChristi @bn_Classwork

Just saw the cover for my new book--Literacy's Democratic Roots: A Personal Tour Through Eight Big Ideas. I explore a set of ideas that open doors for all language users. It will be out in September.

Practical examples for turning an ELA classroom into a reader/writer workshop to promote student ownership of learning & intrinsic interest in reading & writing. Explains why we need to break from traditional ELA instruction & includes guidelines for implementation.

Wishing all of our secondary literacy educators in Bridgeport ISD a phenomenal first day of class. Thank you Solution Tree for publishing Amy Rasmussen and William Eastman’s👇🏼 book. It will anchor our work throughout the school year. “What should I know about you?”
