As we celebrate #Pride, we will not forget the trans, nonbinary and intersex students being targeted by adults. You aren't what they say you are; you are who you know yourselves to be. And we love you.

I cannot recommend this site enough. Truly, it's one of my first go-to's for practicality, expertise, and inspiration.

When kids cheat on assignments it is because they have been taught that grades outweigh the importance of knowing things. We need to fix this.

Tulsa has hard history. We teach it.

I am supt of Tulsa Public Schools, & I attended our schools from K-graduation. Yet, I didn't learn about the Tulsa Race Massacre until I was an adult living in FL.

Our team will never let that happen again.

On this one-year anniversary of the killing of George Floyd—an event that helped catalyze a groundswell of racial justice activism from the streets to our schools—we must remember the commitments we made and continue this critical work.

Today marks one year since police killed George Floyd. We lift his name alongside so many other lives unjustly taken—and alongside so many families still mourning. We continue to demand justice and affirm that Black lives matter today and always.

The fights for more inclusive curricula—and the backlash—aren't new. Here's what decades of activism for ethnic studies can teach us about why students want more representative lessons and why it matters.

Grades often measure a student's access to time, resources and support rather than their learning progress—and that's been especially true during the pandemic. Here's why more equitable grading models must be considered now and into the future.

Students navigating multiple cultural norms and traditions may sometimes receive messages suggesting they aren't "enough" of any one identity. Here's how to support these students and uplift the value of belonging to multiple identity groups.

In "Min Jee's Lunch," written and read by @teachntransform, Min Jee and her friends grapple with how to respond to harmful anti-Asian bias that shows up at school during the pandemic. We hope you'll share this touching story with your young learners. https://t.co/DevgEQHIuv

"History hides behind facades, but teachers don’t have to." For educators planning visits to historic sites or using local primary sources, these guidelines can help you ensure the experiences of enslaved people who lived there are honored and centered.

"History is not just a collection of different perspectives or stories." A history teacher reflects on the importance of acknowledging our subjectivity and naming power structures, responsibility and causation when exploring past and present injustices.
