We only made it to the sixth day of this new year before a school shooting that injured or killed someone. A 6-year-old boy is in custody for shooting a teacher, police say. 💔

Poetry can enrich instruction in reading, writing, speaking and listening, capture students with its musicality, and spark their creative and critical thinking. @cgewertz @educationweek https://t.co/DSR2MAaNbF

[Stephen Sawchuk @Stephen_Sawchuk]

I'm hearing, inevitably, lots of districts looking at school police again given the tragedy in Michigan. EdWeek has a ton of resources for this on you, including an explainer and a database of districts that have removed SROs. https://t.co/egjcfcIeQI and https://t.co/xc30XPnJGN

Welcome @BethFrerking! Can't wait to get started!

[Beth Frerking @BethFrerking]

Some exciting personal news: I’m joining @educationweek as their next Editor-in-Chief in early January! I’m delighted and eager to lead the talented newsroom team at this go-to national resource for K-12 education news and information. Stay tuned for 2022!

[Lesli Maxwell @l_maxwell]

Big news in the fam. Congrats to my superlative husband, dad, and journalist!

It's the LAST DAY of virtual school.

[Education Week @educationweek]

What an honor! And richly deserved! Congratulations @brookesaias and @ehartrich!

[Ileana Najarro @IleanaNajarro]

Today’s my first day @educationweek where I’ll be covering race and opportunity. Got tips/story ideas? Reach out at [email protected].

[Eesha Pendharkar @Eeshapendharkar]

Just minutes before a verdict, here’s my first piece for @educationweek. I talked to two Minnesota educators about why it’s important to discuss police brutality and the trial in their classrooms, even if it’s emotionally exhausting.

[Lesli Maxwell @l_maxwell]

I am beyond thrilled that @Eeshapendharkar and @IleanaNajarro, two powerhouse reporters, are joining the @educationweek team to cover race and opportunity. They've done amazing work in their careers already, and I can't wait to see what they'll do here!

[Eesha Pendharkar @Eeshapendharkar]

It’s official ✨ I’ll be reporting on race and opportunity in schools for @educationweek soon. It’s really hard to leave @bangordailynews where I was offered so many opportunities to report on Maine but I’m thrilled to be taking this next step in education journalism!

[Andrew Ujifusa @AndrewUjifusa]

A big @educationweek welcome to @Eeshapendharkar who will be covering race and opportunity.

She's a data wiz, her stories about education in Maine have been second to none, she speaks four languages, and she has a degree in chemical engineering, which ... I do not.

[Lesli Maxwell @l_maxwell]

There's the guidance. And then there's the reality. More than a dozen teachers in seven states talked to @s_e_schwartz about how conditions in their classrooms are often far from the ideals outlined by CDC for in-person learning.

[Daarel @Daarel]

It's official: I handed over the reigns of @educationweek's school finance beat to @MarkALieberman today. He'll do great in the new role. So much to write about! Please follow him.

[Dr. Joris M. Ray @SCSSuptRay]

It’s finally here! Our first day of in-person instruction. We’re thrilled to visit some of our schools to greet student and teachers! The first stop on our bus tour is E. E. Jeter Elementary!  #ReturnStronger

[Ashish K. Jha @ashishkjha]

Texas ranks #40 in the nation in per capita vaccine doses delivered into arms

May be instead of prosecuting doctors who don't want to waste vaccine doses,

They might focus that extra energy on getting more people vaccinated

Just a thought

Principal Henry Darby of Charleston, S.C., took a second job at Walmart stocking shelves to give those earnings to students in need. He tried to keep it secret, but today, the governor awarded him publicly for his selflessness and commitment.
