I’ve resigned from The Baltimore Sun after 25 years of politics and sports reporting. I was proud to have been there during a long period when our reporting followed the facts wherever they happened to lead. I’m not saying anything readers can’t see for themselves, but The Sun has changed since its purchase by David Smith, executive chairman of the Sinclair Broadcast Group. I no longer fit there. I’m grateful to the sources whose trust enabled me to report responsibly, and to the readers who supported our work. I’m exploring new opportunities inside and outside journalism. My DMs are open.

I started a daily practice during my drive to school. I’d choose five students and spend five focused minutes reflecting on the following for each child. Read "A Focused Practice for Relationship Building" in @Edutopia https://t.co/iaBNpKrUxS #edu #teachers

Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias:

“New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.

Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.

Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”

The Funnel Pattern describes how teachers, trying to be helpful, sometimes progressively simplify the question:

The “funnel pattern” is only an “illusion of learning.” https://t.co/gCGEZjWb91 #teachers #Edutopia

3 things I've tried this semester. Do you do any of these? 1) Always begin any feedback with an exclamation point: "Hi Mike!" 2) Ask students not to look in my direction during a class discussion unless I'm talking; 3) Begin with a class clap-chant (3-2-1-clap-"Own it!") #edu
