Could not be prouder of the @Newsela team on this important milestone along our journey, which is just beginning. Can't wait to help write the next chapter in K-12 education.
Today will be a difficult day for teachers and students across the country. Hopefully the resources we published this morning will make classroom discussion around yesterday's events just a bit easier.
In a stunning attempt to overturn America's presidential election, a pro-Trump mob stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday and forced lawmakers into hiding.
This article can help students understand the unrest and its implications for American democracy: https://t.co/4ecm28VeoD
We will have a news article about today’s storm on the Capitol, a news article about the Georgia election, custom Text Sets, and a number of other resources for educators with SEL connections.
Please check our homepage for the latest. We’ll also post all resources here.
We know how seriously you take your obligation to students, and we take our obligation to educators as seriously.
To help students comprehend today’s historic political events, Newsela will be publishing a number of timely resources for educators to use in tomorrow’s classroom.
Most teachers see the importance of news and media literacy. Yet many say it’s difficult to discuss current events and politics in their classrooms.
Join us and @commonsense for a webinar dedicated to addressing these challenges. https://t.co/OeYWU2Fi4X
Now more than ever, it is our moral obligation to support those experiencing trauma, and to cut racism at the root before it spreads outside the walls of our schools into larger society. https://t.co/3TJ3nnwpDW

Last night I had the pleasure of speaking at @Newsela about my story and work for our community! We must normalize conversations about struggle, mental health and privilege so that we can encourage others to follow their own path to success!
