Season 2 Ep 7 Show notes

Tricia Ebarvia teaches at Conestoga High School outside Philadelphia, PA. From her Heinemann Fellow bio: Tricia has spent the last 15 years as a classroom educator with a student-driven approach to teaching reading and writing. Through her career, Tricia has applied the philosophy of the teacher-as-researcher while applying best practices to cultivate independent learners through independent reading and student choice. For better or worse, well enough doesn t satisfy me. I approach each school year, each course, each unit with fresh eyes.

Find Tricia on Twitter and her web site.

Here are her book recommendations…

When Dimple Met Rishi, by Sandhya Menon

Crazy Rich Asians, by Kevin Kwan

The Paper Menagerie, by Ken Liu

The story “The Paper Menagerie” was also featured on an episode of LeVar Burton Reads.

Also, Penny talked about Reimagining Writing Assessment: from Scales to Stories, by Maja Wilson.
