Want students to remember something? Ask them to draw it! Research shows that drawing boosts learning by forcing us to process information in multiple ways: visually, kinesthetically, and linguistically.

[U.S. Department of Education @usedgov]

Today we celebrate and honor the momentous occasion 65 years ago today, when #SCOTUS handed down a unanimous decision in #BrownvBoard - making it clear that "separate but equal" is unconstitutional.

[John Roach @ExecDirecNASS]

We need to protect all our students.

[NASStoday @NASStoday]

NASS is thrilled at the progress being made on the #EqualityAct. We hope you will join us September 15th-17th in Washington D.C. to advocate for it's continued progression and for the rights of all students and educators. Learn more at https://t.co/3LOIuRiUJu #IgnitED

65 years after the seminal Brown vs Board of Education Supreme Court ruling, let’s celebrate the progress, but recognize that for far too many students across America, education is:
A. Still separate
B. Far from equal
#Brownat65
Opportunity too often defined by where you live

[John Roach @ExecDirecNASS]

This is very important for all students.

[Human Rights Campaign Rapid Response @HRC]

BREAKING: The House of Representatives has passed the historic #EqualityAct.

It’s the first time a chamber of Congress has approved a comprehensive LGBTQ civil rights bill that would finally provide clear, nationwide protections for LGBTQ people throughout daily life.

LEADERS!!!!! They are OUR STUDENTS but they are also someone else’s MOST PRIZED POSSESSION. Acknowledge the perspective of the parent...we’re all in this thing together. #leadfromwhereyouare #hackingleadership #1minwalk2work

Mental health support!

Former #Columbine HS Principal Frank DeAngelis reflects on the state of #schoolsecurity 20 years after his 'worst nightmare' & launches the Principals Recovery Network. https://t.co/jsVViLUJaX

[John Roach @ExecDirecNASS]

I agree, Lily.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

We don’t need our teachers to be the most talented, the most innovative, or the most tech savvy. We need them to care about kids… work well with their colleagues… and come to work every day, excited about making a difference.

[John Roach @ExecDirecNASS]

Powerful!

[John Roach @ExecDirecNASS]

Worth a look!

We are honored to be a 2019 Audacious Project. Now, we need to get to work. If you can measure it, you can fix it. https://t.co/nBNHRz43VR #TED2019 #JusticeNerds #measureitfixit #justice #policingequity

[John Roach @ExecDirecNASS]

Absolutely!

[Julia E. Torres (MAEd., MA, MLIS) @juliaerin80]

It's #NationalLibrarianDay and I want to shout out my mother, the first and only Black librarian I knew for a long, long time. Also, let's not forget this...✊🏾

[We Are Teachers @WeAreTeachers]

Teachers. Care. 😢 #dedication #RedForEd

[John Stevens @Jstevens009]

Dear teachers,

You are not defined by your students’ test scores. Your work is more than an accumulation of points on a test. Your value goes far beyond the classroom.

Know that.

Sincerely,

A grateful parent

This tiny stack of cards helps students participate and have a voice—even if they’re shy.

[MindShift @MindShiftKQED]

A survey of 2,000 elementary schools found that instead of moving bright kids ahead to more advanced topics, #gifted classrooms are preoccupied with activities to develop critical thinking and #creativity @hechingerreport https://t.co/TsywHYLmBG #edchat
