[Anderson Cooper 360° @AC360]

Yale is offering its highly popular "happiness" course to high school students for free.

@AndersonCooper speaks with professor @LaurieSantos, who teaches the course, about how students can "slay their new learning environment" even during a pandemic. https://t.co/yfkapXrfez

Congrats to 12 (yes 12!) @GWHilltoppers students-Geo, Jane, Celia, Grace, Jennifer, Nawera, Parker, Anna, Julia, Nilton, Scott and Sam-for getting published on the @NYTimesLearning. Overjoyed for my students J and Nawera and Sam's 2nd published comments! https://t.co/BdJVP44T6A

Thank you so much, Casey, we feel special & loved💕

[Mrs. Shah @shahspacenow]

Thank you @JasonReynolds83 for urging teachers to continually work toward antiracism and see the “whole” student AND inspiring @GlenbardDist87 students to change the language, accept their fears and insecurities and advocate for shifts in power structures.

[Coach Schultz @CoachSchultz23]

Will Humble is a senior in our program, but he's so much more than a baseball player. What an amazing video he put together; his advice to our freshmen is relevant and important for all of us: students, teachers, admin, coaches, etc. Proud of you, Will!!

[GW Science @GWestScience]

Thanks for the reminder of how important a positive attitude is @DGNScience! Let’s do this @GWHilltoppers

[DGN Science @DGNScience]

Need to shift from what we have lost and focus on what we have. We have our kids, we have our community, we have excellent teachers, and we have excellent support in our buildings. We can do this, but it is going to take a village. #WeAreDGN #99Learns

[Cult of Pedagogy @cultofpedagogy]

There's been a lot of conceptual thinking about teaching online, but not quite enough actual how-to. This fantastic post from @triciaebarvia is definitely the latter: 24 structures for online teaching in a block schedule. Bravo. https://t.co/i9e3GN1rAg
