@DaveOestreich @DCEverestSchool @Chad_WSAW If you read the same article I did, he's describing the curriculum required to teach AP French Language and Culture, which includes a discussion of culture, science and environmental factors, history and politics. So reactionary. https://t.co/FiScx6r5zi

@DanODonnellShow Kashdan is prepping students for AP French Language and Culture, which now requires info about science (including the environment) and history (including politics). Stop grasping your pearls. https://t.co/FiScx6r5zi

@SwissArmyLib, Are you even checking Twitter anymore? Interested in a research question? I've got a hard one (I think) that is complicated by its relation to Magic: the Gathering.

@joelleg0ldstein - Loved the coverage of CircleAround with @girlscouts Please fact check - the organization is GSUSA, not "Girl Scouts of America," as in your title. (You might be confusing us with now-renamed Scouts BSA. I assure you - we are different.)

@usps Seriously? I'm thinking that I'm going to order stamps online from somewhere else from now on! Can't re-register, and sketchy help-chat experience.

@KellyGToGo Check the 180 Days group on Facebook - this is asked for middle school and high school level about once per week.

@BuddhistPanda @HongPong @KoiPuff @madimikay @Jennifer_deG I'd like to add that there are a fair amount of Jews at Harvard. At that point, rescinding his enrollment is a simple case of preventative measures in the name of campus security.

@aliagabres I thought you might be interested to learn that "It was a dark and stormy night" has a local connection. The writing contest at SJSU: https://t.co/QwQoZEuFQw #blfc (from, the lady in the back)

This is a long thread, with 40+ entries, but worth the read.

I’m a mother of six, and a Mormon. I have a good understanding of arguments surrounding abortion, religious and otherwise. I've been listening to men grandstand about women's reproductive rights, and I'm convinced men actually have zero interest in stopping abortion. Here's why…

@ActuallyNPH My 13yo daughter to her 10yo brother: "We're going to do this cool thing that Norway does tonight, and I got your book. It's from this author who does pretty much everything well, and this is his second book. His first book was an autobiography that Mom liked."

@geneluenyang You're at Illusive this evening, right? Is there a time when you're speaking, or just doing the chat-n-sign?

[Debra Navratil @debzanne]

This is what happens when you tell @no_red_ink that you like reading @neilhimself's writing. So, is it true?

#edcampsfbay - Some teachers may avoid knowing too much about stus bc we're mandated reporters. They don't want to be The Reporter.

#edcampsfbay - "I'm not teaching the whole stu today. I'm just teaching this 1 part of their brain math." "As if that's how stus learn."

#edcampsfbay - Teaching with mindfulness can be a different kind of messy than maker spaces. Emotional mess is scarier for some students.

[Debra Navratil @debzanne]

#edcampsfbay - when we get quiet (or kids do), they hear feelings that are buried. Anticipate that things will come out. Validate feelings

[Debra Navratil @debzanne]

#edcampsfbay - If critics nay-say you, that's okay. Model how to treat people, and allow them to come along or not.

[Debra Navratil @debzanne]

#edcampsfbay - It's okay to half-ass mindfulness. Find something you can do. Ex. Every time you walk through a doorway, think "peace."

[Debra Navratil @debzanne]

#edcampsfbay - It's okay to half-ass mindfulness. Find something you can do everyday. Ex. every time you sit in a car, take a breath.

[Debra Navratil @debzanne]

#edcampsfbay - Culture shift in the school. Faculty meetings don't start without mindfulness. School assemblies start with mindfulness.
