Tricia is currently a high school English teacher and Department Chair in southeastern Pennsylvania. She began teaching after receiving her Masters degree at the University of Pennsylvania in 2001, and since then, she has taught world literature, American literature, AP English Language & Composition, AP Literature & Composition, AP Capstone, and has served as a faculty advisor for several student groups, including the Asian American Student Association, Students Against Gun Violence, and Students Organized for Anti-Racism. She is also a member of her district’s equity team. In addition to her work on various language arts, diversity, and technology committees in her district, Tricia is also a Co-Director for the Pennsylvania Writing and Literature Project (PAWLP) at West Chester University. In her work with PAWLP, Tricia teaches graduate courses on reading and writing in digital spaces as well as teacher inquiry. Selected as a 2016-18 Heinemann Fellow, Tricia’s action research examined the ways in which elementary reading and writing practices can be used to further adolescent literacy, specifically focusing on teaching comprehension strategies. Her work expanded to interrogate the ways in which readers’ varied and intersecting personal identities inform the ways in which students read themselves, texts, and the world. By helping students reflect on their experiences, and the biases that have emerged from them, Tricia hopes that this habit of self-reflection, coupled with critical literacy skills, will help students become more responsible and engaged citizens and members of their community. As a co-Founder of #DisruptTexts—an anti-bias, anti-racist effort to decolonize the language arts curricula and pedagogy—Tricia hopes that reading and writing can be a liberating force for justice in students’ personal and academic lives. As a teacher consultant for the National Writing Project and a member of the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE), Tricia has presented at the NWP Annual Meeting, the NCTE Annual Convention and other regional conferences. In her work as a presenter and consultant, including her role at The Educator Collaborative, Tricia has discussed literacy topics that include: choice independent reading and classroom libraries, authentic mentor texts for writing, multi-genre research writing, student inquiry projects, adolescent reading strategies, digital tools and literacies, anti-bias pedagogy, teacher action research, and curriculum planning and design. Tricia writes online at her website, triciaebarvia.org, and has contributed to the Heinemann Blog, Moving Writers, and Write Connect Share (PAWLP). Her writing has also appeared in Education Week, Literacy Today, and English Journal.

Laurie Halse Anderson is a writer known to many of you, but she was unknown to me until I walked into a panel at the 2016 NCTE Annual Convention about censorship and instantly appreciated her frank and blunt manor. She explained to me on the podcast that “life is short. I don’t believe in hiding the truth.” When I discovered that she is a New Englander at heart, It all made sense. Laurie is a New York Times–bestselling author who writes for kids of all ages. Known for tackling tough subjects with humor and sensitivity, her work has earned numerous national and state awards, as well as international recognition. Two of her books, Speak and Chains, were National Book Award finalists. Laurie was honored with the 2009 Margaret A. Edwards Award given by the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) of the American Library Association for her “significant and lasting contribution to young adult literature.” We chatted about her writing process and the long walks she takes when brainstorming. You’ll find interesting the role technology plays in these walks. I sure did. She shares the story of her second-grade teacher’s role in making her appreciate the power of words, and she lets us know the best book she has read in the last decade. Even though she was fighting a cold for this interview, we had a great discussion about many different things.

I need to make a confession to all of you before you listen to this episode.   Before attending the NCTE Annual Convention last fall, I had never heard of Deborah Wiles or read any of her work.   Shocking because I now know all the praise and awards her books have received over the years.   Born in Alabama into an Air Force family and spending her growing-up summers in a small Mississippi town with an extended family full of Southern characters. Today they live on in her stories.   The moment I heard her discussing her documentary novel Countdown and how she supplemented it with playlists, recipes, and biographies, I was intrigued. (It doesn’t hurt that the main character and I share a last name.)   This new approach to writing fiction, but filling it with large chunks of nonfiction, is something I have never seen before and I wanted to have her share it with all of our podcast listeners. I think you’ll find Deborah’s approach to writing and belief in the importance of learning to write your own narrative highly informative.   After you listen to the podcast, give yourself a treat by reading her “life notice” written by one of her characters from The Aurora County Trilogy. I promise, it’ll make you smile.   I wish her books were around when I was being taught English and history. They certainly would have made me enjoy those classes even more.   Enjoy!   photo credit: Sonya Sones
