NCTE is definitely one of my favorite times of the year.
Nothing is better than getting to connect with edu-friends. Or the fun of doing that squinty eye look as you try to sneak-read someone’s name tag as you wonder, “Have I seen your face in a little twitter photo before?.” I’m looking forward to being in the D.C. area and for the energy of this upcoming weekend.
My friends and I at The Educator Collaborative have many events going on and we hope we’ll get a chance to say hi to you. Sessions, signings, meet-ups…. and we’re really excited to organize an informal meet-up we’re calling the “Professional Book Swamp Meet”! All the info is below.
Events
Sunday morning Meet-up and “Professional Book Swap Meet”
If you are unable to attend, follow the hashtag #NCTE14 for highlights.
Hope to see you this weekend!

Can’t wait for the opening of NCTE 14 where new learning will be abundantly shared! See you there, Chris.
I can’t wait!!!! The last time I attended NCTE it was in Las Vegas. I remember going to the Nerdy Book Club session. You and Kate Roberts sat at the same table as me. You both were so kind and gracious! The next summer I got to attend a summer institute at Teachers College and then participate as a Teacher Poet with you later that spring. Thank you for being such a wonderfully kind and giving educator!!! I’m planning on being at the book swap! 🙂 YAY!!!
