Wow! Grade 5 are great cooks!! @kisjeju

[Audrey Akcasu @MsAkcasu]

@msfojan Yeah, Google Meet. I don’t love it, but there are some Chrome extensions that improve it. Also, I am split screen so I could see the screen and all the kids at once.

Unfortunate coincidence to have some webinars scheduled right after a week of relentless police violence on Black communities. My words feel pretty inadequate right now so I've been orienting each of the talks around @deborah_ball and @profgoffney's. #BlackLivesMatter

If you teach Black kids, it is your responsibility to spark conversations with them (and your colleagues) about race. If you don’t teach Black kids, it is your responsibility to spark conversations with your students (and your colleagues) about race. Discomfort is no excuse.

[Deborah Loewenberg Ball @deborah_ball]

The perpetrators were all once children, learning in our schools and classrooms. We have much work to do together to make teaching a force to disrupt— rather than reinforce and teach — racism.

[Kareem Abdul-Jabbar @kaj33]

It’s about respect & human decency and how we share that with each other. #ShowYouCare
