If you're researching internationalisation, we have an "anti-glossary of contested terms" about language that should be critically assessed in writing (led by the wonderful @SE_Lomer)
https://t.co/qpVma3aK4m

It's a purposefully flawed, living anti-glossary - comments welcome!

Our final session was a plenary panel of some #Cohort2019 students facilitated by @RobHelfenbein. #CulturEd @MercerEducation

[Leah Panther @ThePantherPause]

@RobHelfenbein @MercerEducation Erica did a great job unpacking challenges in teacher education and induction!

[Leah Panther @ThePantherPause]

Wow--full house for @DrKAPerrotta's panel with exemplary @MercerEducation doctoral students at #CulturEd to think, critique, and apply curriculum theory!

If you're teaching about language but not teaching about language ideology, then maybe you aren't teaching about language after all

[Leah Panther @ThePantherPause]

@ClaraBauler @DrBLLINGSLP @JPBGerald Absolutely. In my teacher ed courses we do the same thing--the goal is communication that reflects our identities, histories, and communities. Not upholding the myth of standard English. Learning from all y'all sociolinguistics rock stars.

[Leah Panther @ThePantherPause]

@IntlSocStudies @DrKAPerrotta Thank looks great! Any findings you want to share, Dr. Perrotta?

[Leah Panther @ThePantherPause]

Always a pleasure to think about the lasting legacies of history and learning theories to design equitable literacy teacher education with @KindelNash Thanks @ILAToday!

[ILA @ILAToday]

In their feature article, @ThePantherPause and Kindel Turner Nash explore new directions in teacher preparation programs, with a specific focus on student-centered practices and how they can better support readers who struggle.

We are so excited to launch our GA Elementary Recess Study today! We want to understand “the state of recess” in Georgia. Please participate if you are a teacher or administrator for any grades PK-5, and please retweet! Thank you. https://t.co/RPq2y538KJ

[The Afghan-American Foundation @Afghan_American]

In response to many requests for ways to help, we have compiled a list of trusted organizations in need of support. It is certainly not exhaustive but includes organizations we have contacts with and trust in Afghanistan. Please consider contributing.

I love the smell of a manuscript acceptance in the morning! Happy Friday, y’all (and Day 2 of #AERA21). Look for it soon! @ThePantherPause @DrKAPerrotta #educationaldisruption #collegeofeducation #phenomenology

The @TuckerHSMedia professional learning space is getting a well deserved makeover!

[Tucker HS Media Ctr @TuckerHSMedia]

Thanks to Dr. Panther, we’ve added a faculty stress reliever to the Media Center. #DCSDEDMedia

[Leah Panther @ThePantherPause]

@TuckerHSMedia Wow! I can't wait to see this in person!

[Ekaterina @KatyaStrekalova]

How can teachers select picture books to fully recognize the lives and identities of learners who have sought refuge, to counter harmful myths, and to address forced displacement in their classroom? @ESPMINetwork @IMISCOE https://t.co/k0qrec8JHU

[Leah Panther @ThePantherPause]

@BilalPolson @KindelNash @ValerieKinloch @ncte @routledgebooks @django_paris Yes!! Such good work from good people!
