Oh, so excited to attend the 2024 OCTELA Conference near Columbus, Ohio. I can't wait to learn from all of the great educators attending as well! Conferences do so much to restore the energy level of educators. Being around people who are so passionate about the content focus of the conference propels learning to another level.
This year, I will be co-presenting with another educator from Bowling Green State University, Colleen Boff. We met in the fall of 2023 at the Ohio Council of Social Studies conference (ironically at the same location). We both share a passion for literacy and books. We look forward to sharing how the books we bring along can do so much to lift student voices.
We will be sharing all about how to create a literacy cafe and promote book tasting with others. Be sure to join our session! Make it your first stop of the day! Nothing is better than a cuppa joe and some great books.
