Ok back to Big Willie. Think of how many more texts would have space if we removed Shakespeare from our classes. The brilliant folks at #disruptexts propose plenty.
Looking to connect with teachers who are looking for or building social justice curriculum. #edutwitter #SocialJustice #culturallresponsive #history #teachthetruth #socialstudies #teachertwitter #disruptexts #BLM #school #antiracist #civics
Great ideas about the importance of diverse texts are being shared at the webinar Thinking Forward: Practice with Disrupting Texts! with Alissa Crabtree, Valerie Taylor, and Lorena Germán. #Disruptexts #TCTELA

@anniedeyoung @haleshannon Add to that the fact that the language in most of these is so old-fashioned that kids aren't likely to understand them without help, plus the racism and sexism? And they think kids should read these in their free time?
No thanks. Old doesn't equal good.

As we've said before: we teach young people, NOT books. If you're more concerned about the books you teach and not meeting the needs of the young people before you, you're off. The books are tools. Ask: what is the best tool I can use to meet the need they have? #DisrupTexts
@adibkhorram That’s awesome, @adibkhorram. @RAndersonFHS and I are fighting for new book approval, building our classroom libraries with #diversebooks and starting each class with #booktalks of current important books (like yours!) #disruptexts
@triciaebarvia My teaching and learning has been reignited thanks to you, @TchKimPossible @juliaerin80 @nenagerman. #disruptexts has reminded me and @NEATofEnglish that being a lifelong learner is exhilarating.
Happy New Year!
@LorcaDamon @CodyMillerELA @JessCluess Yeah I'd agree Cluess's tweets were a bit clueless. People are free to tweet that they don't like her just as she is free to tweet whatever she wants about #disruptexts. My take is that acting like her tweets are deeply harmful is itself harmful.
If your platform is advertising antiracist texts, your options for teachers should let us purchase these texts for our online classrooms. I want Stamped. I want An Indigenous Persons History of the US for Young People. Do better. @TchKimPossible #disruptexts @JeanMendoza2016
@Sorareadingapp @OverDriveEd Make more titles available as class sets to address systemic racial injustice.
Why is Gone With the Wind in your collection of class sets (of which there are so few), but not New Kid? not Stamped? Which books are you making available to teachers? @JasonReynolds83 @JerryCraft
I just published Teaching Literacy and Being Better — it is based on a webinar I watched a few days ago: "Teaching Literacy in Turbulent Times" (the link is in the post). @ILAToday @ernestmorrell @nellkduke #edequity #edchat #teachinginuncer #disruptexts https://t.co/Db8D2njwot
@ONPrincipal4all @DoniseCampbell @DrAnnLopez @PLloydHenry @vmissc @MzMcKeown Check out #disruptexts. It's American based but they share and discuss lots of useful strategies and text suggestions.
Finished #AllAmericanboys this week with my Ss. The amount of passion and engagement that was present during our zoom discussion was incredible! This is why I teach! Thank you @JasonReynolds83 and @KielyBrendan for writing this amazing novel. #disruptexts #ganandaproud
“literature cannot be divorced from the social, political and cultural context in which it was made.” That’s the reason we should be inclusive and consider where we are while developing school lib collections #DisrupTexts #libchat
The dominance of white-authored texts is a problem for many educators who don't see those stories connecting with their students. The #DisruptTexts founders work with teachers to apply a critical literacy lens to their practices. @nenagerman #NCTE

Mandatory reading for everyone, but particularly educators! My high school “American” literature course is about to be completely reworked!

Hi #nctechat! Kelley, ELA and Leadership T from MI. I have challenged myself to read authors of color this summer thanks to inspiration from #disruptexts and #cleartheair. So far I have read Sing, Unburied, Sing, Homegoing, Evicted, Interpreter of Maladies and many others.
There are many brilliant educators doing the work. See #ClearTheAir #cleartheairuk #disruptexts for a start.

@LeslieLaud @arielsacks This also welcomes much more personalization, student choice, AND differentiation to meet all students’ academic and SEL needs. Imagine giving all kids the opportunity to read ideas from someone who they look like. #ncte #disruptexts #allvoicesmatter 2/2
@debreese does necessary and important work in the area of indigenous lit. Here is her blog! Use it for curriculum planning and book-building.
