NCTE Author Strand Sessions

Friday, November 20, 12:30–1:45 a.m. ET
NCTE Author Strand: Teach Like a Writer: Composing Possibilities in Your Curriculum and Career

When teaching the way we know is good and right feels impossible, where do we find a way forward? We write our way forward. Teaching is a series of writerly acts. We compose and revise curriculum in the margins of scripts and mandates, in movement with students, and through everyday choices. Guided by our forthcoming book Teach Like a Writer, we’ll uncover the stories behind the curriculum we inherit and compose possibilities for humanizing ways of being in the classroom and across our careers.

Presenters: Sarah J. Donovan, Oklahoma State University, and Amber Jensen, Brigham Young University

 

Saturday, November 21, 1:15-2:30 p.m. ET

NCTE Author Strand: The Multilingual ELA Classroom: Possibilities for All Teachers, All Students

Tap into the possibilities of students’ multilingualism in your ELA classroom even if you don’t speak their languages! Learn how elementary and secondary teachers are engaging students in multilingual, multicultural, and multimodal meaning-making through project-based learning. Discover resources for multilingual texts to support biliteracy for emergent bilinguals and heritage speakers in the ELA.

Presenters:
Mandy Stewart, Texas Woman’s University

Monica Lozano Hughes, Texas Woman’s University
