If I have students who are interested in becoming beta readers, where  do I send them?

Can someone point me in the direction of the Educator Grants? I can't find the link. Thank you!

I'll nominate Lisa Dabbs, @teachingwithsoul over at #ntchat She's a former teacher, but now she works very hard to support new teachers. 

If not, Lisa, Leslie S. Rose is a 5th grade teacher who writes. If you choose her, I'll have to find out where she teaches. 

I have more for next time!

Please recommend a great teacher to profile in the YALITCHAT newsletter. Name, school, location, grade and reason for nomination. Also contact email of the teacher if possible. Please spread the word to your fellow teachers and students.

Here's a great link to Super Teacher Worksheets. Great for grade teachers. Thanks to Kelly Hashaway who posted this on her blog this week.

Thanks, Lee. I'll have to check it out. Pat Conroy is a major influence of mine, too.

Want to read about a great educator? Gene Norris isn't famous, but one of his students is. Pat Conroy writes about how this one teacher was essential to him and hundreds of other high school students, some who never sat in his classroom. I highly recommend reading Pat Conroy's My Reading Life if only for this one chapter.

Here's an article about Young Adult Literature in the Classroom. It's longish, but even reading just the conclusion is instructive.
