Yesterday, national youth poet laureate @TheAmandaGorman recited a powerful poem that called us into reflection, courage, and hope. As we talked about it today, our staff felt drawn to these lines. Tell us about the Baton Rouge you hope our youth will inherit! #AmplifyHope

Day 1: Every day I will post a pic from a day in the life of an educator. I will post without explanation and nominate someone else to take the challenge. That’s 7 days, 7 pictures, 7 nominations. I was nominated by @qtimoll. I’m nominating @brian_c_powell

Great study; the 33% of US non voters “are disengaged, disaffected & don't believe politics can make a difference in their lives [& are] more likely to be Latino, younger, make less money & have lower levels of education than voters.” https://t.co/DUPGjgDMdr

On day three of our #AmplifyHope drive, we're asking you to show your support for teacher well-being! This work is not possible without you! https://t.co/TsrroTsOow

[Destiny Adams Cooper, M. Ed., NBCT @destinycooper]

Yes! Let’s get curious, educators.

[David Geurin @DavidGeurin]

Don't write off students who struggle and label them as lazy or unmotivated.

Instead, be curious about the skills they're missing that we can teach them to help them succeed.

Let's assume the best about kids. Most often they want to succeed but may not have the tools...yet.

When I feel the tears well up just enough to not fall, I realize it's just a bit of shattered glass ceiling in my eyes. #KamalaHarris

I hope you join students and the larger community in this event!

There's still time to register! This Day of Dialogue is filled of opportunities to learn from experts and engage in dialogue about critical issues including restorative justice, the school to prison pipeline, language access, curriculum, and more. https://t.co/yzmX2uMMGz

2 countries or 3? I bet we could learn a lot about reconciling American political polarization from the third of voters who chose not to vote. https://t.co/oSy3R3h6m0
