#IGiveToBU to support the upcoming revival of @the_emancipator. Looking forward to seeing how the online newspaper from @AntiracismCtr and @GlobeOpinion manifests "anti-racism, every day, on purpose."

@msformicola Hearty congratulations! Downingtown is fortunate to have you onboard.

[Carol A. Smith @carolsmith2006]

Consider adding Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You also by Reynolds for the YA audience but highly informative for adults too. Drs. Santori, Verden, Adera & I just discussed it & found it valuable & powerful

This sort of writing experience mirrors what real writers do at home, workshops, & retreats. Great to see teachers and students living & sharing the #WriterlyLife

[Nicole Bevenour @NicoleBevenour]

Today’s session was all about writing! Students refined a piece they had already started or began a new one. We loved how many kiddos turned on their mics to share their thinking and ideas. @brulenski #OneTeamOneGoal

With this level of enthusiasm and creativity, you’ll inspire your students to make their own creative demonstrations of their learning. Looking forward to following your dynamic career.

As my student teaching semester comes to a close, I wanted to give my students something to remember me by. Sit back, relax, and check out Mr. Bev's historical music video... Civil War Is Here. 🇺🇸🎶

Love reading through the student responses on our @GlasgowMS Distance Learning Feedback Form for English 6. We miss our students so much. #OneTeamOneGoal

[Carol A. Smith @carolsmith2006]

A valuable resource for #educators especially #MiddleGrades & #HighSchool. I’m also wondering what books you’re reading aloud with your Ss during this time of remote learning & how you foster #ReaderResponse & dialogue.

[TED Talks @TEDTalks]

See what students in countries from Ireland to Iran, Ghana to Germany, are asked to read and why — and add some titles to your quarantine reading list. #WorldBookDay https://t.co/2zlfZugXJt

[Carol A. Smith @carolsmith2006]

via ⁦@nytimes⁩ I encourage all #educators to read about this important opinion re #literacy, follow this case, read Driver’s book The Schoolhouse Gate, & advocate for #education as a #ConstitutionalRight. https://t.co/KjQHO7zeen

[Carol A. Smith @carolsmith2006]

Kudos for modeling #lifelonglearning and showing your Ss that yours is truly a #communityoflearners. Knowing you’re nervous with new tech will reassure Ss they’re not alone.

[Chandler Black @chandlerteaches]

I’ve never used @Flipgrid with my students before, but I’ve added one for tomorrow. There’s no better time than during distance learning to start, is there?! 😬 #imalittletooexcited

[Carol A. Smith @carolsmith2006]

@MsBatichon Congrats on your recent honor! Happy to hear you’ll begin distance learning in Philadelphia. Looking forward to following your career.
