HERE'S A RECAP OF NCTE 2024!
#NCTE24 is by far my most memorable #NCTE Conference yet. I'm still recovering from all the excitement, fanfare, and having the opportunity to connect with teachers, educators, school librarians, authors, illustrators, and publishers.
I truly love how this conference provides a space to celebrate teachers, exchange ideas and resources, acknowledge the work educators do for kids and families, and sharing some best practices in and out of the classroom.
This year's theme encompassed, HEART, HOPE, and HUMANITY. I spoke on two panels and even got to sign copies of my latest release, A VOICE OF HOPE.
I was grateful to be on two panels that encouraged teachers to use our books to help their students foster their creative voice.
and participated in the Classroom Idea Exchange. The panels I was a part of were topics I was passionate about and am humbled to have been afforded the opportunity to be on panels with colleagues and educators who advocate for literacy and inclusivity. It's also a space to network with the very people who value the books we create and allow us to connect and learn from each other.
NCTE is also a great space for authors, illustrators, and creatives to connect with their marketing teams and publishers.
This trip was my third time participating. As I reflect on this year, I plan to return to #NCTE25. I especially love the very 'Star Trek' theme - DREAM BOLDLY. This brings me back some nostalgia from when I was a kid. It's going to be in Denver, Colorado and I've already got my soundtrack ready to go, kicking it off with one of my favorite songs aptly titled, Colorado, by Milky Chance!
It was a dream come true to be on panels and sign a copy of my book, A VOICE OF HOPE: THE MYRLIE EVERS WILLIAMS STORY, illustrated by London Ladd.
Looking forward to #NCTE25!
