Day 2 wrapped strong with way more educators than I expected for my session on the final day and the final session of the conference. Deeply grateful for the educators who came through with energy, questions, and community. Winston-Salem was a powerful setting for NCCSS’s new chapter. #NHTOY

Day 1 of the North Carolina Social Studies Conference done! #NHTOY #NCCSS2026

Third Dr. Delmont book loading… 📚✨

Grateful to @zinnedproject.bsky.social for feeding my historian heart. This makes book three by Dr. Matthew Delmont, and if the first two taught me anything, this one will linger.

The pacing guide is a farce, concentrate on getting the diverse stories of history correct and make history research skills your base. Then all of it will come together #NHTOY #sschat.

Grateful for every chance to let history speak a little louder.

At the 2025 #NHTOY celebration, my former student Natalie spoke in my honor. 💛

“Ms. Abbott never stops believing in her students who they are, and who they can and will be.”

Reminding us that history is never the past and that’s the work I’ll always stand by. @gliamericanhistory.bsky.social

Last evening was amazing, the recognition of my life's work was gratifying and humbling as I know my voice is a echo of other history teachers. #NHTOY #NHTOY2025 @gliamericanhistory.bsky.social
