@TracyNovick @UMassBoston We appreciate you making the trip! I had 3 emails asking me to post your slides by noon. Tired Monday morning students are eager to use what they learned in their essay drafts😊

#mapoli, I see we’re getting the “we passed a state budget that funded a third year of the historic Student Opportunity Act” social media posts.
While those legislative votes were unanimous, #MAEdu, don’t you ever forget who *led* that effort…

@heymrsbond 10th grade was always my favorite when I taught HS because of this exact moment.

@RebekahODell1 The trick is to combine all those forms into one coherent response/addition to the discourse. So knowing how to make those moves is great! Believing they are RIGHT or THE RULE or that they work alone in practice is harmful.

@RebekahODell1 I love posts like this. I teach freshman college composition (I.e. how to write for and with the professionals and experts you’ll be engaging with). I spend much of my time convincing students that NO writing is as black and white as they’ve been told it is.

@heymrsbond My daughter told me and my husband (both teachers) she wants to be a teacher. Our response: what else are you interested in?

No way can I send her to college to get a degree for a job where the expectations are you know how to do 14 jobs and get paid to do one.

@KrissyCabbage Wasting your time is part of the exercise sort of hit me with n the gut even though I know and am familiar with the exercise.

@heidifessenden @MayorWu Do they have the bivalent booster for 5-11 year olds?

[Susan Field @SusanRField]

@TracyNovick @UMassBoston Thanks for your visit! Students were happy to have you-and began making connections in our second hour! Notable comment: haven’t all our theory texts-and now @TracyNovick talked about democracy?

@TracyNovick I'm trying to figure out how/when I can add a few episodes to my syllabus!

@tressiemcphd I had great Cuban food at Victor’s this summer! They’ve got the pre-show dinner service down! And we were not rushed at all. Food was excellent.

#Ukraine In Kharkiv, a chimpanzee escaped from a zoo. It was walking around the city while zoo employees tried to convince it to return. Suddenly it started to rain, and the ape ran to a zoo employee for a jacket and then agreed to return to the zoo.

We repeatedly told @DrOz that we had pre-made veggie trays..excuse me “Crudité”…in the deli starting at $5.99. $7.99 with guacamole and salsa. Vote @JohnFetterman!

[Susan Field @SusanRField]

@TracyNovick Another vote for Henrietta Lacks! Also Born A Crime, Night (if not read in an earlier grade), Behind the Beautiful Forevers (K. Boo), sedaris’ Me Talk Pretty One Day, truth and Beauty by Patchett, plus another vote for anything by Roach!

@1001questions This looks like an amazing program! Thanks for sharing! And it seems they have stuff for younger kids-adding to my notes for next summer!

[Susan Field @SusanRField]

@1001questions What camp? (This sounds like something my kid would love, but he’s only 11 and still has time to become grumpy.)

[Susan Field @SusanRField]

@tressiemcphd The seven lives of Lea on Netflix!

[Susan Field @SusanRField]

@DylanMeringue @alanna_cotch @rachsyme Yes! I finished this in 1.5 days.

[Susan Field @SusanRField]

True for college teachers/students too. Thanks @AvashiaNeema
