What a wonderful example of including culture and community to support children's reading and writing. Thanks Emma Gulliford from Doomadgee #griffithuni #creatingfuturessummit

Don’t miss @CynLeitichSmith give the keynote during the live portion of our #ILAIntensive. Her book Ancestor Approved: Intertribal Stories for Kids (from @HarperCollins) celebrates the experiences of Native families and promotes diversity and inclusion.

So I just had the most awesome artifacts framed for our school district: the @ILAToday children’s #rightstoread poster along with our Board’s resolution to adopt these worthwhile rights. @NJLiteracy @KateDiskin #literacystrong – at Mountainside, NJ
A true leader ...
Among the many faces & stories I’ll remember from the #ChristChurchMosque tragedy, I will never forget Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. What a remarkable leader. Not only did she ban assault weapons following the incident, she’s offered financial assistance to the victims familes.
