Educator willing to listen, learn and and innovate. Inspired by all those pushing that pendulum back. Books, kids, musicians, travel and my new/old dog.
Bring it on! This week, I’ll be part of a team convened by @reDesign to identify the most important big ideas for young people to engage with as they prepare for our rapidly changing, complex world. Can’t wait. https://t.co/8i3KXtGH8O #edequity#edreform#curriculum
Biden's pushing a progressive agenda because progressive "black folk, AAPI, indigenous, disabled, queer [and] young people" got him elected, Rep. @AyannaPressley tells @mehdirhasan: "The most marginalized met the moment and made it possible for democracy to breathe another day."
Teachers, tomorrow teach a lesson on the PATRIARCHY & WHITE SUPREMACY. Throw in a bonus lesson on intersectionality. Call it the curriculum, current events, SEL & PBL. Then do it everyday afterward, until we have equity and justice. ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
@michele_norris@PostOpinions I am sorry that this is the country we live in. We owe your son, and your family so much more. Thank you for breaking it down so painfully and clearly.
Wishing all people could feel the empathy and talent of the educators in the HVWP, they would not fear for their children at all. Teaching and learning is not a place, safety does not have to mean isolation. #hvwp#nwp#yri20_21
This AM @jshesse gave me a powerful reminder that as teachers learn to create virtual spaces that are rich and powerful for our students we need to, "...give the same grace to ourselves we grant our students when doing something for the first time." #yri20_21#nwp#hvwp
Reading A Small Needful Fact by Ross Gay with the @HVWP has me thinking of how heavy the work load of poets, artists, and teachers these days, so much struggle and so many stories to humanize. #yri20_21#nwp#hvwp
Thinking about inquiry and the great potential for experimentation and research within each classroom. The sudden switch to remote learning has let teachers get ahead of outside researchers- now we need to space and support for teachers to lead each other. #yri20_21#hvwp#nwp
Finding ways and rationale to “...emphasize the humanness of schooling and the capacity of writing to help us live our lives more fully.”(Yagelski) with the @HVWP is extending boundaries around who writing instruction should serve. #yri20_21#hvwp#nwp
Revisiting The Danger of a Single Story by C. Adichie with
@HVWP, I am reminded that all storytelling is political, and the flattening of people's experiences is a crime. Schools could be doing better, there's no value in promoting singularity in stories. #hvwp#yri20_21#NWP
@rgay@debbiemillman This felt like a gift right now. Thank you for offering your precious private joys and struggles. They are a kindness and brave, and I hope you realize how valued your voice is. Congrats to the happy newlyweds as well!
