Last weekend, the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) Annual Convention took place in Minneapolis, MN. It was an inspiring weekend filled with speakers and sessions on everything from practical classroom activities to re-thinking the way we approach literacy and reading.
There were many Scholastic authors in attendance, and we took the opportunity to snag some fun Periscope interviews with them in between signings and sessions. Missed the Periscope broadcasts (they expire after 24 hours)? Not to worry -- we're uploading some of the sessions on our YouTube channel this week to share. Check out our interviews with Kwame Alexander (Page-to-Stage Writing Workshop, Available March 2016 & for pre-order), and Pam Allyn & Ernest Morrell (Every Child a Super Reader, Available December 2015 & for pre-order):
We also shared photos on Instagram, and updated the @ScholasticTeach Twitter account with some of the key takeaways from the conference.
