NCTE and Other Information

I get asked a few times a week where I will be speaking next or whether I do a certain type of work with educators.  While most of my time is spent in room 235d, Oregon Middle School, with my incredibly funny and also rightfully demanding 7th graders, I am on the road once or twice a month, sometimes more.  Summers I am on the road a lot.  I love this work with other educators, it is one of the biggest honors and challenges that I have, and yes, I am always interested in working with districts.  Being with educators and brainstorming with them is an incredible adventure and I walk away with more knowledge every single time.

So just in case, you are wondering what type of work I do and where I will be, check here.

If you are wondering what types of session I lead, check here.

NCTE is coming up soon and besides NerdCamp it is my favorite conference of the year.  Not only do I get to present alongside incredible people, but I also get to learn so much.  So if you will be at NCTE, here is where I will be for sure.  (Other times I will be in the exhibit hall browsing books or sitting in sessions – don’t be afraid to say hi if you want).
