Listen to @SJEducate. Then take the time to reflect and move forward with intentionality. Our words, our actions—and our silence—are creating and shaping the world not only that our kids will live in, but the one that they will work to create. https://t.co/u2Dosxt2Rg

@MattRKay 3/2 And that requires time and energy, something students have less and less of. Which is why we need to follow your example and watch them type. Watch them write.

[cddyer @cddyer3]

@MattRKay Student writers fear drafting and brainstorming. I’ve started encouraging my students to open a doc, turn on voice recoding, black the screen, and talk. Just talk. Think aloud, to themselves. 2/2

The sophisticated, layered, humanness of his character…Hurston forces readers to push both their definition and their interpretations of systems and their intentional and unintentional byproducts

@HermioneClone Can we shift the focus and also question what supports they and their teachers receive? Who sets the standards? Whether the work is meaningful?

I am humbled, and elated, to share that I have been named as Winship Distinguished Research Professor of Sociology at Emory University. I have questioned whether my work was good enough -- as a writer, as resonating to society, as mainstream Sociology, as iconic of "Emory". Hard to argue with myself anymore.

I like the “more often” here.
Not “all the time.”
Not “never.”

Sometimes it’s all eyes on me.
Sometimes it’s face each other.
Sometimes it’s face the board.

I love when it’s just, “what do kids need right now?”
Not oversimplified absolutes.

Kamala is gonna beat Trump by 3-5 million votes, and he may win the election because the Founding Enslavers wanted to give southern states more political power without giving Black people the right to vote…so they created the electoral college.

america is overrated.

I recently advised someone to commit to the mic, and boom what a difference
