@TamirDHarper Connect all of your lessons to real world experiences. Work towards having your students do the heavy lifting. Start with teaching standards and the process of distilling them into lessons/units. In this way, students become invested in their own learning.

@TamirDHarper Everyone has my cell, students, families, all stakeholders and it has never been abused.

Today Gov. Scott Walker signed disgraceful, undemocratic legislation to limit the power of incoming Democratic officials in Wisconsin. Republicans like him across the country are attacking democracy and their power grabs must be stopped.

A2: Students in poverty have been conditioned to internalize the large majority of their pain. It usually manifests through explosive anger that is misdirected. It is challenging to teach students how to manage their trauma as opposed to running away from it. #edutopiachat

It is, quite simply, a travesty that in the year 2018 we continue to have debtors’ prisons in the United States.
