"Family isn’t always blood, it’s the people in your life who want you in theirs: the ones who accept you for who you are, the ones who would do anything to see you smile and who love you no matter what.” #MayaAngelou
Let’s be clear. There’s a difference between hands-on learning and project based learning. PBL can involve hands-on learning; but just because it’s hands-on doesn’t make it PBL. That’s why I prefer the idea of learning based projects grounded in community based learning #PBL
In celebration of Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we offer gratitude to our lineages, uplifting the resilience of these Ancestors and the paths of resistance they forged in preparation for us.

The message from Maui community is loud and clear: cancel your vacation and travel plans. Lāhainā needs time to heal and regenerate, and Native Hawaiians and local communities must be centered in the rebuild. Not realators, developers, and tourists. Lāhainā isn’t for sale.
“Human beings are more alike than we are unalike. And the minute we began to understand, just the slightest part of that, we recognize ourselves as family.” #MayaAngelou
Women fill the significant majority of teaching roles in schools, yet they hold fewer than a third of superintendent positions nationwide. School districts must enact deliberate programs to develop female leadership pipelines. @PresenceLearn

The accurate history of American slavery should be taught to children in age-appropriate and honest ways that develop critical thinking, while recognizing that Black history is U.S. history and goes beyond slavery.

In case you think @Moms4Liberty quoted Hitler by mistake, here’s Ryan Helfenbein @ the Faith & Freedom Coalition Gala: “If you don't control education, you can’t control the future. Stalin knew that. Mao knew it. Hitler knew it. We have to get that back for conservative values.”
