A2: We have to find ways to make the legislation and bills more accessible to teachers. There's no time to dive deep into legislation when you're busy teaching. How can we share, in a reasonable way, legislation and the ways it will impact teachers? #sschat

My favorite part of #ncss2023 was getting to be with so many of my people (and honky-tonking with @MatthewEllison6). Grateful to the @historyed staff & NCHE friends like @LoisMacMillan3 for giving me so much joy in Nashville. @ShaunaIsHistory @MsBarkerReads @ReginaNCHE @jbf1755

I saw a lot of things in NYC today but I can’t stop thinking about these glorious Tiffany lamps. I would like one for every surface in my house, please. Thanks @NYHistory for the fantastic first visit!
