Students and Teachers Share Advice for Having Conversations Across Divides. . I enjoyed being included in such a comprehensive article where students, teachers, and others, can learn from each other. Take a look! https://t.co/vmkepJQ6c0
One of the best events of our school… Veterans Day Field of Valor, recognizing those who serve or have served our nation. 2001 flags with special honor to California Medal of Honor recipients including Covina’s own Donald Evans.
Inspired after the @AMLE Conference. I had the privilege of joining a panel w/ the @ConstitutionCtr + enjoyed presenting w/@SarahEHarris2 on one of my passions: Civil Dialogue. Middle school is often underestimated, yet this conference showcased just how pivotal these years are.
Excited to be part of the @AMLE Conference for Middle Schools. Stop by the @ConstitutionCtr panel discussion and our session on civil dialogue. Both take place on Friday!
Working with @ASUCivics on their Civic Literacy lessons has been extremely rewarding! Our team created lessons aimed at increasing civic knowledge and ensuring students could pass citizenship tests. Look @scottmpetri and @eduprotocols! Fast and Curious for the win!
Just look at the talent in Room 20!!! Students choose how to show what they learned about a person or group who used the power of dissent to make change. Thank you @ryoung03 Dr. Ralph for inspiring our students! #ChoiceAndVoice
Excited to announce that I’ll be joining the @ConstitutionCtr panel at the @AMLE Conference in Nashville! It’s an honor to contribute to conversations that empower middle school educators + students through civic education. See you there!
EQ: How has dissent impacted America? Should there be limits on dissent? SS quotes:
1. Dissent formed our country +improved it.
2.MLK protested peacefully +effectively. It can be done.
3. Seeing violence on SM +other places can open our eyes +force us to figure out a new way.
Incredible drawing, painting, and storytelling by students in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month. Students were inspired by @duncantonatiuh ’s book Separate Is Never Equal. Use of watercolors and @eduprotocols Sketch and Tell strategies for the win!#Dissent
Excited to finally meet author and professor @ryoung03 in person today! It was inspiring to learn from Andy Shankman. The @constitutionctr’s First Amendment Weekend Seminar has been incredible and we still have another day! I’ve learned so much from these dedicated teachers.
Kicking off our first Weekend Workshop with an amazing group of educators and facilitators. Cannot wait to dive into the First Amendment all weekend long! #NCCed@holafsen87
In honor of Shohei Ohtani’s historic 50/50 milestone, we’re dedicating the proceeds of our 50/50 Raffle tonight to the @esgvjcc whose mission is to foster and preserve the cultural heritage unique to those of Japanese American ancestry and to serve the community through social services, artistic, recreational and educational programs. #BiggerThanBaseball
