Equity lives in the details of teaching and learning. That's why a core tenet of our Impact Academy fellowship is to support #edprep leaders to prioritize instructional improvement--so that all teachers can foster rigorous and affirming learning environments.

Last week, we visited with @uafschoolofed, a program in our Learning by Scientific Design Network, and brought together faculty & clinical educators to build alignment between coursework & clinical experiences that support future teachers to have a coherent learning arc.

This school year, let's reject the normal.

Educators, let's use this rupture in our society as an opportunity to exercise our voices and our teaching to disrupt patterns of injustice in schools.

[Dr. Amber Willis @atandw]

Wow this thread just killed all of my joy

[gerry brooks @gerrybrooksprin]

Praying for the thousands and thousands of educators starting school this week...with continued prayers for those already in the trenches. Heart-wrenching reading the news of schools already closing, and so concerned for the mental health of our parents, students and staff.
