Join us on Sunday, June 20, at 8:00 p.m. ET for an #NCTEchat in which we discuss cultivating powerful writing communities, hosted by past Donald H. Graves Award Winners and Leaders of the Elementary Section Steering Committee (ESSC).
We will share the following questions during the Twitter chat:
WARM-UP: Please introduce yourself and share a word or two to describe the role of writing in your life. #NCTEchat [8:04 p.m.]

Q2: How does writing support antiracist activism today? #NCTEchat [8:18 p.m.]
Q3: The Donald Graves Award is given by the ESSC to recognize K–6 teachers who support children’s writing in transformative ways. How is or how could writing be a transformative tool in your classroom? #NCTEchat [8:26 p.m.]
