Diana Haneski Media Specialist at Marjory Stoneman Douglas was the first to present at the first ever Build Your Stack initiative held during NCTE conference in Houston Texas! It’s also the first time Haneski has attended the National Council for Teachers of English Conference. “I often heard from teachers that I have collaborated with, that this was a great conference to attend.” Haneski explains, “it was my USF professor Dr. Joan Kaywell that invited me to present with her. Of course, I was honored and glad I was able to represent Broward at this inspiring conference.” There were 35 Build Your Stack presentations held in the Exhibit hall where educators and authors talked about their favorite books. The soft seating, tables, and coffee made for a very comfortable and informative session. Dr. Calle Friesen, professor at BVU also presented.. Diana Haneski says, “I loved working with professors using digital resources, then coming together in Houston to present the session at NCTE. I was inspired and worked strategies into my library media program at MSD.”
