Celebrating Students' Strengths With Jessica Lander

Jessica Lander talks about celebrating students' strengths, using text structure to synthesize research, and self-care.

Remember to sign up for our next Chalk + Ink Chat on April 26th with Lisa Stringfellow and Michael Leali to talk about their debut year and DEI in middle grade novels. Go to www.katenarita.com/podcast and fill out the Chalk + Ink Chat form.

To prep for our next episode, please read Text Sets in Actionby Mary Ann Cappiello and Erika Thulin Dawes. Don’t have a lot of time before April 14th? No worries. Mary Ann and Erika formatted the book so that readers could choose to read which sections interested them, just like people click on interesting web pages, instead of reading a whole website.

Finally, I want to give a shout out to Sarah Brannen for Chalk + Ink’s podcast art. Congrats to Sarah on her latest book sale. I’ll echo another critique group member and say I can’t wait to see Lolly on the ice and on bookshelves.
