Pandemic SNAP benefits ended last month — so SNAP recipients will NOT receive a mid-month payment this week. If you need food help, @VAFoodBanks can point you to your local food bank: https://t.co/QwIgUgvoPf

Before Interstates 95 and 64 plowed through Jackson Ward displacing thousands of Black people & businesses, this was a vibrant community. Today, on the eastern edge of Gilpin you can still see the contours of the lives we deemed less valuable than suburbanites’ quick commutes. 🛣️

As social studies #teachers, we tend to assume osmosis from the ELA classroom equips our ss to write like historians. But what if it doesn’t? Join us next Thursday as we discuss small, actionable steps you can take toward stronger writing instruction in any class #sschat #edchat

if this sounds like a distant issue that impacts a few people — it's not. 54% of children in this country covered through medicaid & chip. HALF OR MORE of all children are covered through these programs in 30 states & dc.

A healthy owl population is a sign of a balanced ecosystem. In order for owls to thrive, populations of the species they prey upon must be abundant and healthy as well - a pattern that continues down the entire food chain. #SuperbOwlDay

Kid scores 100% on a retest... Only given a 70%. For what possible justification do we put scores in the gradebook that do not match what a student knows?

There is no average time to learn something. Punishing students for taking longer to learn something seems archaic

The ridership increase from being fare-fare earned Richmond’s bus system an extra $8-10 million in state & federal funding this year. Eliminating fares cost $5 million. Tell me how a policy that fully restored our pre-COVID ridership AND earned us millions more in funding is bad.

Looking for some challenging math riddles for your students? These problems were created by @MathforLove for TedEd: https://t.co/bEMIbhQLuQ. Lots of fun to use with your students. #iteachmath

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

The difference between a good student and a great one is that a good student is concerned more about the outcome while a great one is fascinated by the process of learning.

How many teachers does it take to do a subtraction problem?

One, because it only takes one teacher to make a difference.

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.
