🧵If you’ve seen the articles & tweets this morning about the historic (in a bad way) declines in #NAEP Civics & History scores, you’re probably concerned. You should be. But before drawing your own conclusions, please talk with social studies educators and get their input. 1/18

“At a time when public support for civic education is on the rise, Maryland has the potential to be a national leader.”

Blueprint for Maryland’s future emphasizes reading and math, but what about civics? | GUEST COMMENTARY https://t.co/pN7fpIPISy

@meganmpalmer 10:00 is OK for leaf blower, just not 9:00!

[Renzi @leahrenzi]

@meganmpalmer Or use a battery powered leaf blower. The leaves can wait.

@meganmpalmer I went with snack size with a full can of soda chaser. The good stuff like Crush and Mug. Seeing the kids vs parent response was priceless. I get it, but still, it’s Halloween.

😴School start times is a good example of the knowing versus doing gap in education. The weight of the research evidence clearly supports relatively later school start times. For example...

Beyond literacy, social studies teaching should cultivate learning experiences for students to be inquisitive, informed, & engaged participants in civic life by nurturing their lived experiences & identities & preparing them to recognize and disrupt systems of inequity. 16/16

In 2018 @CCSSO released this infographic highlighting the marginalization of social studies in K-5, while recognizing the important positive impact of time spent teaching high quality social studies on literacy & beyond. The recommendations are clear. 7/16 https://t.co/c0ZL2RVj8n

@HerbertHistory Great list! But you need to add Unconditional by Arcade Fire.

@MrsSymAACPS @MrsSymAACPS Thanks for being you and brightening my day! So inspired by your leadership in the MD Elementary Lead Team.

Reminder: As schools build master schedules for next school year, K-12 students need at least 45 mins/day for social studies & science, not double-blocking kids into ELA & Math interventions by cutting Tier 1 core content instruction. More time in ELA ≠ improved literacy.

Some Sundays all I want to read is the NYTimes kids section. I’m sure the other sections contain information I need to know, but not today. Sorry for breaking the “no grown ups” rule @nytimes

Elem. teachers, there’s a push to get rid of Science/SS & focus on Lit and math all day. SS/Science are the subjects that some kids come to school for. Let’s reverse that and instead of getting rid of the SS/Science block, we integrate literacy and math into those subjects.
