The POWER of Picture Books v. High-Stakes Testing & Common Core - Nancy Bailey's Education Website

When @danhf.bsky.social shared with me his idea for a special issue on The Dark Fantastic, I was surprised, honored & (truly) shy about it all.

My dear colleagues @srtoliver.bsky.social & @autumnadia.bsky.social have curated an incredible issue here. Grateful to SR, Autumn, Dan, Gerry & SFFTV! 🖤✨🎬
SFFTV 18.3 (a special issue on the Dark Fantastic guest-edited by S.R. Toliver and Autumn A. Griffin) is now live! This is a special one (including SFFTV's first venture into creative praxis).

As some institutions rush toward an AI-mediated future, I see plenty of evidence that this isn't something students want or need. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/colu...
Shouldn’t College Be for Learning?
We should stop declaring we know the future and give students the space to figure things out for themselves.

So proud of this. Anna’s been gone 2ish years and I still can’t hardly believe it most weeks, but we made this with our brilliant author-friends, and it is good.

We wanted to title it: Wicked Writing but were told the SEO want great.

Great gift for secondary writing teachers.
