The @DCPSSocStudies team read to 4th & 5th graders at Houston ES as part of their African American Read-In for Black History Month. Students learned about Fannie Lou Hamer, the Tulsa Massacre, #1619Project book Born on the Water and more. Thanks to Ms. Jones for inviting us!

Great to see superstar @DCPSSocStudies teacher Caneisha Mills (@HardyMSHawks) being recognized with a Teacher Voice award from @EmpowerEdDC after being nominated by her students for being the "epitome of an advocate" who "represent[s] the voices of her staff and...students."

[Anthony Hiller @AntHillDCPS]

What an amazing session!

My Twitter feed is lighting up with praise for @nhannahjones in her keynote interview about the #1619Project with DCPS's history teacher superstar Alysha Butler at #NCSS2020. Challenging questions from Ms. Butler, insightful replies from Ms. Hannah-Jones. Love it!

On #NationalComingOutDay , we declare the right of us all to live as our full selves & be free from oppression based on how we identify or who we love.

The intersectionality w/ gender & race make that journey harder for some, & we must ensure freedom for one is freedom for all.

"It is absolutely essential in any comprehension lesson that the kids come away with knowledge.”

“Not dealing with vocabulary early on is like leaving a ticking time bomb for later.”

[DCPS Design Lab @DcpsLab]

Today @AnacostiaHigh students are engaging in hands-on learning to understand the anatomy of local fish and the how the environment impacts these species. Hands-on, project-based learning is one of Anacostia's big bets as part of their Redesign. #whyana
