"If you want to ensure that Black people never reach their full potential, there would be no more efficient way to make that happen than to demand we turn over our babies at age 5 to the American public education system."-@citizenstewart https://t.co/YDvOyMkbIp via @HuffPost

Addressing educator bias is critical...We must find teachers who, by both background and training, can already accurately assess the intelligence and potential of our kids. #WeNeedBlackTeachers https://t.co/VDfXwsezXV

Dr. Nathaniel Bryan discusses his research on perceptions of Black boys' play within the context of schools. Dr. Bryan also discusses the implications of denying students recess as a disciplinary measure.

Think about the ways that freedom was delayed
Being #free by law and still being enslaved
And think about the joy, beauty & the power
When they couldn't devour that power another hour...

@ChrisEmdin knows that school curricula haven't reflected Black history. The result was a delay in real freedom because a captive mind is a legacy of enslavement.

The work of #HBCUs and K-12 charter leaders of color can transform our educational outcomes for Black and Brown communities. Are we willing to pull a seat up to the tables they’ve set or continue to ignore the proven impact? #CLOCMatter @chartercollab

Educators are struggling to rebuild the cultures in their schools and connect with students following two turbulent years. Counselors and psychologists are integral to that rebuilding, but many schools do not have enough on staff.

While Mental Health Month has passed, schools should prioritize #MentalWellness year-round. Many #students have struggled with socialization issues due to the pandemic, and #teachers play a pivotal role in helping these students succeed and thrive. https://t.co/gp8bEyr2Hn

Excited to discuss my book, #FugitivePedagogy, with Dr. James D. Anderson, author of The Education of Blacks in the South. Join us tonight (6/6) at 7pm. Thanks to Dr. Charles Payne for inviting us to be in conversation.

Some politicians have conflated culturally responsive teaching with separate academic concepts and initiatives, including DEI programs. As a result, legislation gets written in ways that could stifle efforts toward equity in schools...researchers say. https://t.co/1igQzMv509

@citizenstewart Maybe He, too, is trying to make His way home... like one of us -- a stranger on a bus or maybe even a Holy Rolling Stone. I mean, "What if God was one of us?"-Eric Bazilian :) But back to your question - not as good as yours :)

@MNTOY2006 Critical consciousness is most evident, Dr. Stephens. It must have been quite a learning encounter for all involved.

A survey of gig workers reveals that these workers often are paid low wages, in some instances less than the minimum wage; they face economic insecurity at high rates; & they routinely report losing earnings because of difficulties with digital platforms. https://t.co/U9tBBUdq1H

"I am not a charter school advocate... a traditional schools advocate, a private school advocate --none of it. I don't love any system. I just simply love our people. And in loving our people I want every single option to be on the table." -@ccoleiii https://t.co/fWhdmIP8vD
