2019 Conference Highlights


The long haul flights are never easy. Then, I’m welcomed into a space like #ISLA19 where the spirit public school educators bring to the game, lifts me. It’s an unmatched energy, esp given the climate & systems working against Ss & Ts. Thanks for accepting the charge, Indiana□□❤️ pic.twitter.com/n4W4NohcV7

We don’t teach K-5 Social Studies to assess kids on a bunch of standards.

Instead, we are planting seeds with our youngest learners. We are teaching them to be globally minded. @apron_education’s session at #isla19 was so relevant and inspiring! #bringbacksocialstudies pic.twitter.com/29q6JpvcLq

“When kids only see finished writing products, they think their writing mistakes mean they are doing something wrong.” This is why it’s VITAL thatwe model vulnerability with our own writing. □ @laffinteach #isla19 pic.twitter.com/Ie2s9lMOaf

Enjoyed listening to the contributions of educators in my session today. If your pedagogy reflects culturally responsive practices, your physical environment should speak the same language. Environment matters. #ISLA19 @FatimaRich1 @capinscommunity @MrsBoudreau pic.twitter.com/BEuhGaUihc

It's taken me a while to get this, but I just bought this from Sherry Gick at Kathy Burnette's The Brain Lair booth. So, there's all that. #isla19 pic.twitter.com/aF3KiSQMj2

Thank you everyone that attended our presentation today @ #isla19! That as a queer trans woman, I was invited to help educators understand why & how their environments should & can be more #LGBTQIA friendly & safe, means so much. Thank you for the invite! #Queerbrarian
