In this episode, hosts Ande Parlow and Ivy Gowdy are back again! Our Hot Topic Discussion this month is related to writing instruction and how pre-service teachers are being set up for success in the classroom with TCTELA Pre-service Teacher Committee Chair, Dr. Jim Warren. We have an interview with Jolee Maupin, owner of Satisfiction, a boxed books service featuring authors of color and self care items from BIPOC owned businesses. In that interview we also are joined by TCTELA VP of Membership and Affliates, Alissa Crabtree. We ask the kids this month how they feel about banning books in school classrooms and libraries.
Learnin' & Yearnin' is a podcast created by the High School Section of TCTELA. Its purpose is to support educators of English Language Arts in the state of Texas. There are interviews and topic discussions with educators, student opinions of hot topic items, and much more.
