"We must struggle together not only to reimagine schools but to build new schools that we are taught to believe are impossible: schools based on intersectional justice, antiracism, love, healing, and joy." -Bettina Love

A simple line drawing is an act of clarity. No one does it quite like @rupikaur_. Tell Ss to bring a pencil, and make no rules about what comes first — lines or words.
See how our @writingproject community is experiencing #NationalPoetryMonth w/ Ss of all levels. Full 🗓 pinned.

What if students paired up with NOT an assigned classmate, but a friend, a coach, a teacher, a parent, a principal, a nurse, a sibling, an alter ego of their own (bc who doesn’t have one of those?) to write and record a double or multi-voice poem...? What then? What greatness.

Thank you to YA author @hd_tsd and CDWP TC @thewritewerther for igniting something incredibly special three years ago & inspiring Writer in Residence programming in our region. This is @writingproject at its best, possible because of your model of author/teacher collaboration!
My heart is full- I hope yours is too #shenhs - from character building to music sampling we covered a lot of ground with @hd_tsd today- and will continue to use this inspiration in our writing. Still so much to digest- and I can’t stop smiling! #proudteachermoment
