Teachers! For your poetry units, shared reading poetry across the week/month/year, for all times! ❤️

[Mark Treyger 🍎 @MarkTreyger718]

There are 1,100,000 students in NYC schools.

Yet our schools only have:

1,335 Social Workers

2,958 Guidance Counselors

560 School Psychologists

We have more School Safety Agents (5,500) than Guidance Counselors, Social Workers, and School Psychologists combined.

Do you teach a unit that engages Jim Crow laws and need a solid contemporary resource?

Here you go. 😳

@karianneholt I've taught 6th and moved up with my 6th graders to 7th this year.. Many are asking for books written in second person so that they can be the main character, as well as choose your own adventure type books with romance plots.

None of this is surprising or unexpected, but that doesn't make it any less disgusting. 🇺🇸

“While there is urgency in ABAR work, urgency cannot be prioritized over relationships or centering the voices and opinions of marginalized community members.” - @teachntransform is brilliance and realness personified

This poem was about HIV and trauma but y’all said it’s about justice so it’s about justice now. I don’t make the rules 💜

My latest for the @TheAtlantic

Those who rebuke violent responses to injustice should ask themselves: How should the oppressed respond to their oppressors? @kcarterjackson on the George Floyd protests and the history of the American riot. https://t.co/xVW9RV2K80

Students in our middle school #GSA designed these tshirts w/ a quote from @RainbowAlex to promote inclusivity & increase LGBTQ+ visibility. Due to Covid19 we lost our grant money. We'd LOVE to make these tshirts before they graduate. Please donate or RT 🌈 https://t.co/G2BRUIprJY
