We appreciate you sharing our #SeasonsOfLiteracy tool.

7 Essentials Ensure Your School Has a Culture of Belonging For our students to be well educated, activist citizens who lead fulfilling lives, they need schools that foster a culture of belonging, writes Regie Routman.

This article is a great read/share that can inspire reflection throughout the year. I appreciate the connection to the power of read-alouds. “Prioritize books, libraries, and stories. Stories promote positive and joyful learning.” Regie Routman spr.ly/6014ABpa0

Teachers and admin, if you've got a question—big or small—we now have a place where you can hash it with your peers. Someone else has had that same question and can share what they figured out. You've got the wisdom of a crowd here!
