Her Ss couldn’t collaborate, whether she picked the groups or they did. @pagesofplay.bsky.social fix wasn’t a better rubric. It was explicitly telling kids that disagreeing is allowed, then teaching them how.

She doesn’t speak Spanish. She built a Spanish airport in her library anyway.

Amy Garlitz’s method: the teacher owns the content, she owns the logistics. That’s the whole thing.

Just voted today 🗳️ good week for this ep.
@simplyrain.bsky.social Ss were feeling lost bc nobody had shown them how the voting machine works. So she called her county voting office & asked them to bring one to school.

1 image. 2 min. Tell us the true story behind it. Dr. Hatice Karaaslan’s One Slide Show. The constraint is the design: small scope that anyone will start, tight clock that what they say is real.

“Most people don’t wake up in the morning thinking about school libraries.” Cherity Pennington’s whole advocacy philosophy comes from taking that seriously. It’s about being the answer to the problem they already have.🎧 canva.link/thelibraryst...

For the last 12 days before winter break, @txaggielibrarian.bsky.social sends kids home with a book that’s theirs to keep. Any adult on campus can nominate & the certificate names who did, and why.

Twenty-five years in, @heatherpnwtx.bsky.social switched careers. Her method: pick 2 to 3 goals for year 1, expecting to finish one or two. Half a goal is still movement. And stop measuring your year 1 against someone's year 20.

We ask all the time why representation matters in books. @erikaslong.bsky.social wants us to ask why it matters behind the circ desk. #Schoollibrarians build the inclusive collections. The profession is 80-87% white.

Heather Schubert runs Battle of the Books across district lines: 3 middle schools, 4 rounds a year. Her problem is one most of us would take: too many kids want in.

Heather Arguello adds a 1K books to her collection every year. Which means every summer, a 1000 books have to go. For the calls that aren't obvious, she lets her Ss decide.

We all say the #library is the ❤️ of the school. @melsilerio.bsky.social wants to shift that thinking. Community center is concrete: it's where people come 4 resources, it's always open, & nobody signs up to belong.

She has 32 digital badges. 👀 @zbrarian.bsky.social on micro-credentials: both sides. Where she lands: ask what it replaces in your practice, not what it adds to your bio.

"I don't post on social media." Okay, why not?
Melanie Wood: u don't have to be an influencer. Post the sticky notes on your half-finished shelving. Somebody out there needs to see it doesn't have to look done.
