Penny Kittle has surrounded herself with young people, great books, and piles of their writing notebooks for 41 years across five states. After 34 years teaching in grades K-12, she now teaches writing part-time at Plymouth State University in New Hampshire. She knows the power of two essential things: all students will build independent reading lives of joy, curiosity, and hunger when given agency; and teachers who write with their students generate community, creative power, and consistently more thoughtful, analytical writers. Penny is the author of nine books including Four Essential Studies, 180 Days, Book Love, and Write Beside Them. She is the Chairman of the board of the Book Love Foundation where we believe in empowering teachers through grants for books and a vibrant, worldwide community of free professional learning with authors and educators.Learn more about Penny Kittle on her websites, pennykittle.net and booklovefoundation.org, on LinkedIn, or SubStack.
