In the first few weeks of school, I have much less time for my own reading than usual. I am sure that's true for many of us. But I have read some very powerful things that I thought were worth sharing. Hopefully you'll find something that makes you think about something in a new way:-)

NCTE Annual Convention Updates--Coming up sooner than we think!
7 Reflections to Quiet the Ghosts of Grading's Past by Sarah J. Donovan is an article to help you rethink grading at any level.
Proctor and Gamble's New Anti-Racism Ad is Roiling White America --I had not seen this ad until recently and I am glad I finally watched it and read the conversations around it.
And this Ted Talk by Verna Myers, How to Overcome Our Biases: Walk Boldly to Them-- although it is not new, is new to me. A must-watch.
Happy Reading!
