A Highlight for @NCTE #NCTE2018 Is Introducing Teachers to the Conference & To Inspirations @ChrisCrutcher

Meet Hero #1: Chris Crutcher, the YA King, the author, the therapist, the humanitarian, the thinker, the athlete, the dreams, and the magician. He was a keynote

Meet Hero #2: Jayné Penn, Georgetown University athlete, Fairfield University Grad, Fairfield College Preparatory Teacher, Reacher, Coach & first time attendee. She presented on teaching empathy through sports at an all-male high school.

That was day one of NCTE. That, and presenting my own work with Hoops Africa: Ubuntu Matters and our LRNG collaborative work with digital literacies. 

Always wonderful to see friends in the hallways, at sessions, at the book arena (got a ribbit/cockle doodle doo with the Rooster, himself, Kwame Alexander), and on the streets.

As much as I loved yesterday, I'm looking forward to today as I'll be presenting on Ubuntu Academy, Little Lab with Big Imaginations, and Project Citizen. I'm hoping my teachers get big audiences for the incredible work that they continue to do with CWP-Fairfield. Sometimes it takes a conference like NCTE to help them to see how truly amazing they are: visionaries, activists, movers, and shakers.

I need to get breakfast and head back to the Convention Center. 

Looking forward to more engagement.
