A Uruguayan woman—who is legally blind—wrote this thread in appreciation of her former HS geography teacher.

The teacher created 3D maps with glue, foam, rice and other household items. He literally learned Braille to give her access to curriculum.

Today? She’s at Harvard. 🥺🇺🇾

Cuando escribí sobre la educación, les dije que tenía historias lindas para contar, y la de Gerardo Menéndez, mi profe de geografía en primero y segundo de liceo, es una de las que más me marcaron. Con su permiso, acá les va.

Millennials and Gen Z are doing better than their parents did.

Massachusetts generated $1.5 billion for free school lunches and more by taxing millionaires.

Meanwhile, Nebraska and Iowa opted out of free summer lunch programs. 175,000 Nebraska children and 240,000 Iowa kids will lose out on food assistance.

Child hunger is a policy choice.

What are the “power tools” of effective teaching?

@PatriceBain1 shares her Big 4: retrieval practice, interleaving, spacing, and, something I’ve been mulling over since this interview, “feedback-driven metacognition”

Have a listen and share widely!
