If a Black student has a Black teacher by the end of 3rd grade, they’re 13% more likely to go to college.

If they have two Black teachers, it’s 32%.

Investing in HBCUs and public education matters.

I’m often tempted to finish my days thinking I haven’t done much, or created enough. That’s false, because sometimes, just making it through the day is enough.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

There's no returning to "normal" after this. We should aspire towards something better—a society in which the dignity of every human being is upheld, the presence of justice is universal, and love reigns supreme.

What a simple and accessible idea! @bridger_school

Looking for an easy DIY puzzle? Recycle box tops from your cupboard by cutting the front side into a puzzle. Increase the difficulty of the puzzle by cutting the pieces smaller, or encourage your child to cut his or her own pieces. #joyfulmath #MTBoS #homeschooling #Covid_19

Wearing my favorite rainbow shirt for the @bridger_school virtual #spiritday, and it’s purple because I am so proud of the Kindergarten learners I am missing so much today!

[Ziad Ahmed @ziadahmed]

if you are continually surprised by how "eloquent," "grown up," and "dynamic" young people are, you aren't talking to enough young people. period.

How many minutes a day should students read?

More.

Our kids deserve a fully funded education system.

[Jo Boaler @joboaler]

It is through mistakes that knowledge will grow. Teachers do not need to be the all knowing expert. It is better to model being a curious inquirer. Someone who seeks to play with knowledge, learn with students & model being OK making mistakes & learning from them. #LimitlessMind

Hi! If you're a pundit who's about to declare that @Ocasio2018 "needs to brush up on policy" please consider focusing instead on the 180+ old white men in Congress who think that the existence of snow disproves global warming

@ValeriaBrownEdu Re-reading/finishing this gem. I think I may read it every November- I need to keep the information fresh in my head.

[Rose CG @MsRiveter]

I noticed how much conferences helped with this- seeing each student as an individual and part of their family unit reminded me that they aren’t just one of the members of my class. That helps me like and understand them as individuals I like, instead of as someone I put up with.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

One of the first steps in connecting with a challenging student… is to LIKE them, rather than “put up” with them. It’s amazing how the attitude of the adult can affect the attitude of the kid.

I got to head to the mountains with my 8-year-old niece this weekend. She was a backpacking champ, and as always kept me thinking with her delightful and insightful conversation. Also, going to bed when it gets dark is awesome-we should follow the patterns of nature more often.

[Rose CG @MsRiveter]

We had a delightful Kindergarten field study to the pumpkin patch today! Students said they learned that pumpkins can be different colors, & that wet haybales smell funny. Such a treat to spend the day with eager young people and fantastic parent volunteers from @bridger_school

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

We grieve for the Americans murdered in Pittsburgh. All of us have to fight the rise of anti-Semitism and hateful rhetoric against those who look, love, or pray differently. And we have to stop making it so easy for those who want to harm the innocent to get their hands on a gun.

[Learning for Justice @learnforjustice]

11 people are dead after an anti-Semitic gunman opened fire at #TreeOfLifeSynagogue in Pittsburgh. Use the resources in this edition of The Moment to talk to your students about how hate takes hold and what they can do to fight it. https://t.co/w5m1UQBD5K
