Twitter just told me it’s my “X” anniversary and wants me to celebrate with a post using the hashtag #MyXAnniversary but I do not recognize X as my Twitter, so maybe I’ll celebrate by joining threads?

@betsyyoung2 I haven’t even checked it out yet; I’m not game for a new platform, but I do miss this old one in its former form!

[Jillian Belanger @PaperWithPencil]

Sometimes I walk by people in the grocery store westing three fewer layers than me and think aren’t you freezing? Anyway, I miss the old Twitter.

Let’s face it: you will have more options in life being bilingual. By improving multilingual education, we have a chance to lift up the opportunities our students.

[Becky Pringle @BeckyPringle]

We have an archaic assessment system based on standardized tests that don't begin to measure the full scope of what a student knows and is able to do.

These tests are flawed and biased—we must reimagine what assessments look like in this country.

@SherylCrow @Adopt_classroom This is so awesome! Here’s my children’s book list for our multilingual learner students! Thank you for considering helping to support our students on their English learning journey! https://t.co/MorG0Yk4Tw

“There’s no denying – or really any need to explain - the power of Beyoncé. But allow us to, for a second… Sitting at the intersection of fashion, art and music, the megastar is a shapeshifter. A master of all trades. And a genius at that.”

If you think standardized tests are a reflection of the real-world, just ask yourself how many problems in the real world have only one correct solution.

Big shoutout to all the teachers out there who have been working hard all year to educate and support our young people! It's a fun job, it's an important job, and it's an exhausterwhelmulating job.
