Teaching a Culturally Relevant Pedagogy class this fall for education majors. What texts should students read to challenge their perspectives?

What activities/thinking protocols should I use?

I have ideas, but I know that my #edutwitter family has better ideas and resources!

Feeling incredibly vulnerable as I share what it feels like to watch your child struggle to read. Please take a moment to read my op-ed that advocates for legislation that supports dyslexia and the science of reading. https://t.co/UhMSmcbrcK via @PennCapitalStar

@MattLeinartQB ESPN College Hoops on the PS2. You had to start as the coach or a mid-major, recruit, and move your way up. Also, best game play in a basketball game on that console.

Just because some teachers would rather stay in the classroom than go into administration doesn’t mean they aren’t leaders. In fact as a leader, seek their input and feedback if you want to build a highly effective school culture.

@CoachDaveGordon Also, congrats on the new job!

[Derek Long, Ed.D. @DerekLong929]

@CoachDaveGordon I have sent mine in to the paper 3 times! Haha. Maybe they need to spend less time union busting and more time checking their email!

@cbrazas We collect our students’ phones when they come in the building. We put them in the envelopes that have bubble wrap in them. They go in the bin with their last period teacher’s name. Kids get them back at the end of the day.
