NSTWP Teacher Consultants had a fabulous writing retreat in Granbury over the weekend. We wrote, we conferred, we ate, we played, we talked and talked and talked. Always sharing our thoughts, our passions, and our responsibilities, everyone left feeling productive, refreshed, and accomplished. Our writing ranges across the genres - Professional - two middle school teachers, one African-American and one Caucasian, join together to plan difficult conversations with students around Lives Matter; Memoir - A Tree Grows in Beebee; Poetry - I'm Not That Professor and The Smells of My Life; stories for children - a stuffed lamb who just wants to belong but loses its first child and then survives Katrina to find its way home; Life - adjusting to life when a daughter leaves home and calling the mayor and city hall to support the families and students already in DISD before you seek to bring others here. We are passionate about teaching and learning. We are passionate about literacy. We are passionate about equity and justice. We are the North Star of Texas Writing Project.
