Hey friends! I've got a new project cooking with @RJI (which makes this 🐯 very happy), and we want to hear from other journalists that care about #sourcediversity. Read more here and get in touch👇

Hey — hey, you! Do you care about newsroom #sourcediversity? So do we. We’re partnering with @RJI to build the future of source auditing. Want to help? #journalism https://t.co/eJ2ck6gMgk

In a contentious debate tonight about terminating MSCS’s superintendent after less than 9 months on the job, Feagins remains in the position.

However, the resolution to terminate her will come back before the board in January.

It's a big week! Instead of doom scrolling, may I recommend election coverage that centers young people, our nation's future. Their nuanced and kind perspectives continue to inspire. @Chalkbeat w/ Headway at the @nytimes have quite the collection for you: https://t.co/eGqeoLsYCT

How Teens Are Handling a Flood of Election Misinformation https://t.co/xypLzHlZfM by @terryparrisjr @CarolineBmn @meltzere via @Chalkbeat @nytimes

Loved reporting out of a Memphis classroom this fall for @Chalkbeat and Headway at the @nytimes.

[Chalkbeat @Chalkbeat]

This year, we've followed how educators and students are navigating the presidential election with Headway at the @nytimes. We've heard from more than 1,000 students and 200 teachers (thread ⬇️).

[Erica Meltzer @meltzere]

In some classrooms, teachers are digging deep into the election. In others, they're debating cellphone bans and school lunches because politics is too sensitive. https://t.co/td97GHHq3M

[Terry Parris Jr. @terryparrisjr]

Over the past few months, we've received more than 500 questions from teens about the upcoming election. We’ve distilled those into the 10 most frequently asked.

The latest from the Headway Election Challenge, in partnership with @Chalkbeat: https://t.co/KETfaKaa5f

One of the most extraordinary stories of the year: @lizziepresser's piece on the collision course between two Wisconsin teenagers. Deeply reported, beautifully told--and devastating. I had to stop several times while reading it to catch my breath.

Nuanced story from @CarlySitrin looking at why families choose online schools despite their generally poor academic track record. https://t.co/wVgQGofjCm

[Chalkbeat @Chalkbeat]

We asked teachers: How much of your own money do you plan to spend on school supplies this year? Educators wrote in that they have spent anywhere from $65 to $6,000. Here's what teachers are buying, and why many expect to spend more than last year 💸💸https://t.co/RKVdQuQd09

A must read from my colleague: Indiana’s voucher numbers have grown faster than private school enrollment, suggesting expansion of state-funded private school tuition occurred with families already sending their kids to private schools 🧵

one cool thing i've learned working in news for 10+ years: the awards/honors/promotions are always nice but nothing tops the feeling of someone saying they needed the article/product/resource you made and now they have it. those moments make this chaotic job so worth it
