Academics across the country are talking about how students struggle with reading: Many have weak vocabulary, are unable to analyze complex texts, or understand different points of view.

Here's what they're seeing — and what may need to change. https://t.co/4dBUGsRs2x

Any delay could kill a deal, say the AIDEA sales team, using time-tested logic deployed by generations of used car salesmen. #akleg #akgov

Public Education Matters! All Alaskan students deserve the opportunity to learn robust education skills.

Congress is full of millionaires for the same reason the NBA is full of tall people: it's easier to get there.

If we want a Congress that actually tackles what's on everyday Americans' minds, then we need to make it easier for candidates of all backgrounds to run for office.

As I left the House chambers, I pressed my light to speak—a reminder that this legislature is removing 11,000 Montanans from discussion on every bill going forward.

I will always stand on behalf of my constituents, my community, and democracy itself.

Kids have to get permission to…learn Alaska State Content Standards? Hahahaha ok. May I introduce you to my friend FAPE? So clueless 😆😆 https://t.co/bgeNiAlqiD

[Dawn Fitzpatrick @D_FitzpatrickAK]

@AllisonETEC And if I need to be a professional teacher and change course a bit to meet the needs of my students in the moment, I'll need to send home permission slips first?! It's like the legislative body doesn't want people to teach (or learn) in Alaska.

@MaryPeltola A better retirement system for teachers would go a long way! We might not even need to offer better pay now as long as there was a hope for a livable financial future after a lifelong career.

On this date in 1945, Gabriela Mistral became the first Latin American to win the Nobel Prize for Literature.

You can learn more in "My Name Is Gabriela: The Life of Gabriela Mistral," a beautiful picture book from @monicabrownbks & @johnparraart!

We have challenges, but they are far outweighed by opportunities! We can build a future together that we will all be proud of! I will take a moderate approach & work with people of all parties to find solutions! I will listen & approach the work with kindness & respect. #akleg

I cried. A moment from the history halls of great fathers.

I am a teacher & a mom. My husband is a firefighter. We work hard like other families from Fairbanks. Most of my neighbors don’t feel like they have a voice. I’m running to be that voice, because I AM one of them & I am experiencing many of the same challenges they are. #akleg

[Howard Maxwell @HowardMaxwell58]

I hope everyone across AK is as excited as me to 👀 new faces emerging on the USA & AK political scene. It’s very refreshing to see @MaryPeltola & @MaxforAlaska with good chances of being elected.
They will bring a new sense of civility & nonpartisanship to the discourse & debate

[Dawn Fitzpatrick @D_FitzpatrickAK]

@adndotcom Oh, I see- adults making the lives of children torturous because they can. I guess Mat-Su schools enjoy excluding children.

@TurnTides Today is the day and it is glorious!

[Genevieve Mina @spifffy]

y’all and today is literally Mary Peltola’s actual 49th birthday and she just won a historic congressional election for the 49th state. I’m gonna cry again

[Liz Ruskin-AK public radio reporter @lruskin]

Alaska Congresswoman-elect @MaryPeltola has taken congratulatory calls from @lisamurkowski, Speaker Pelosi, Prez Biden, among a million others. Pretty good 49th birthday present for her.

It. Is. Go. Time.

First day of classes at UAS, and we need some folks in our language courses. We try to maintain safe spaces for learning, and try to keep the doors open for everyone.
