Roundup: Literacies for ALL from Columbia, SC #wlu19 @ncte_wlu

Enjoyed giving two keynotes for the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) Whole Language Umbrella (WLU) Summer Institute this past week in Columbia, South Carolina!
The titles of my keynotes for the preconference workshop and opening session were “Past, Present, and Future: Will US democracy thrive without community-based education?” and “Embracing Diversity: 5 ways to advocate for meaningful inquiry and policy” Here’s a roundup of a few pictures and Tweets from the events that cover some of the themes we talked about.
The food!
The love was mutual! Unfortunately, In my new Dean role at the University of Kentucky I won’t be able to do as much keynote speaking but I still might be available depending on the circumstances so please reach out to jvh@alumni.stanford.edu.
