School Library Journal (SLJ) welcomes a new contributor: Donalyn Miller.

An award-winning teacher and author, Miller will curate SLJ’s monthly newsletter, Curriculum Connections, beginning with the January 17 edition.

Readers can look forward to a monthly post by Miller related to K–12 curriculum; trending topics in education; literacy; children’s literature; and more. She will be featured front and center of each newsletter and will pen the editor’s note. 

Miller will also commission a piece on a topic of her choosing and curate the balance of the newsletter, providing SLJ reviews, feature stories, opinion, and service journalism in an essential resource serving teachers and librarians.
