#OTD in #history 1862, #POTUS Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. It said that by Jan. 1, the enslaved in any still rebellious state would be “then, thenceforward, and forever free.” He thought, “I never in my life, felt more certain that I was doing right."

A single ping from a student's phone can break their concentration. Most students are getting hundreds.

A recent study of 11- to 17-year-olds revealed that on a typical day, half received 230+ notifications from their phone—about a quarter of them arrived during school.

@mremrich1 @kinghistorycchs You got this! Just take care of yourself and rest/take a day off as needed for recovery.

[McDougall History @imcdougall]

This article from @edutopia has some simple, but great ideas for professional development that I am excited to put into practice.

From data to finances to staffing, internal PD takes planning. These tips from award-winning principal @dmendez2378 map out the process, start to finish. 🗺️ https://t.co/4XpsphERSE

@socialstudiestx I use this Langston Hughes poem every year for the Harlem Renaissance/1920s in my US History course. It makes a great bridge between the eras before it and after it for teaching civil rights.

[Nevada Future of Learning Network @NVportrait]

Similar to how the Portrait captures a shared vision for learners, @KnowledgeWorks the 'Portrait of a Leader' will serve as a collective vision for the leadership capacity required to achieve sustainable change. Community input is welcomed and encouraged: https://t.co/j8BzkqKako
