You all gave me so much good stuff, it took me two extra days to pull it all together. But here it is. https://t.co/OCaekERhsG via @cultofpedagogy

Research into white identity formation in adolescents describes "whiteness" as "a normalised way of being ... that occurs through the on-going oppression of persons of colour..." (Miller, 2015, p. 138). To achieve #socialjustice we need to redefine whiteness. #rcr701writing

#RCR701writing colleagues - Fun interview this morning: @nprscottsimon with @jmeacham about political rhetoric https://t.co/j56l2BhIio

#rc701writing colleagues - great account to follow - resources, practices, information, and ideas for promoting #socialjustice

[Learning for Justice @learnforjustice]

It's important that students learn to recognize both justice and injustice so they can celebrate the former and take action against the latter. This resource offers standards and practices educators can use to instill these skills.

This school year will create many challenges. We need to focus on the mental health of the students and our staff.

This is a great account to follow if you have an interest in trauma informed education! So much of student "behavior" is a manifestation of underlying emotion and the way we as educators respond can significantly impact student success. #empathy #RCR701Writing

[RSexton @RMS_TransformEd]

#RCR701Writing colleagues. These models are incredibly helpful for being able to see the possibilities in what might otherwise feel like an impossible task! #onlinelearning #hybridlearning

[RSexton @RMS_TransformEd]

@bethkalexander These are incredibly helpful. I would love to share them with our district's teachers but am aware that they are your creation. May I do so? And, if so, is there any chance you'd be willing to send a PDF version so that I don't need to screen shot them.

Remember to use "old school" methods to help students be successful in 21st century learning #RCR701Writing #onlineeducation

Sometimes it takes a phone call to get to the bottom of why a student is struggling with online learning.

Important reminder about the impact of autofill identity fields in online learning. Does your district's LMS and videoconferencing system allow students to use their preferred name/identity? #RCR701Writing

[Learning for Justice @learnforjustice]

"When schools don’t give students the opportunity to use their chosen name in our new world of distance learning, those students are immediately outed. The welcome we tried to provide at the beginning of the school year evaporates." @RethinkSchools

Equitable learning environments are only possible when we listen to students. Hear from @youthonboard & Boston Student Advisory Council on how #Boston is centering young people in decisions that impact them https://t.co/Y5r0TId5eu #BELENetwork
