Tuesday Mainstage

The Tuesday Mainstage at ISTELive and ASCD Annual Conference 26 is must-attend! With the theme of “Develop Expertise,” this session examines how educators can help students build essential skills by creating spaces where they see themselves in learning, share their stories, and develop the confidence to author their own futures. Plus, Resident Librarian for PBS and PBS Kids, and “Reading Rainbow” Host Mychal Threets shares how educators can foster student agency and engagement by amplifying student voice. Drawing from his advocacy for libraries and literacy, Threets inspires educators to cultivate inclusive environments where learners find representation, their voices are amplified, and they’re empowered to build the futures of their dreams. Whether you’re a teacher or leader, you’ll walk away with practical takeaways you can implement immediately.
