Join Two Writing Teachers on Tuesdays for SOLC
Planning for NCTE
I never realized the time, thought and commitment it takes to plan out your days at the convention. Looking over all that is being offered, I fear I will be in one session, while missing out on something great. Overwhelmed, I took a Step back to look at the big picture. I realize the excitement of being among thousands of dedicated, passionate educators is the true meaning and learning of attending this event. I am a first timer. I am imagining the energy and inspiration just radiating from like-minded teachers.
It's what lacks in my daily teaching life. I crave the conversations, connections and reflection with fellow NCTE participants from around the globe. I will embrace the knowledge and wisdom shared by mentors to continue the process of learning, growing and evolving.
I am a child, anticipating author sightings and meeting Twitter friends. I know I will regret it if I let an opportunity to shake a hand or say hello slip away, but I won't be
surprised if my nerves take over. So, I apologize in advance to those I want to meet, but are too shy to approach and gush over how I appreciate you, your talents and your dedication to books, reading and writing.
Happy learning to all NCTE presenters and participants.
