My teen came to me last night, scared. “My friends are really struggling w/ their mental health, especially my queer friends. There is a lot of talk about suicide & part of it is b/c we are all exhausted.” The teens are NOT okay @MetroSchools . #StartSchoolLater #HB1836 @AFSPTN

@mrs_eebarnes @lipscomb @co_sumner @riya_carter @trenadyf What a fantastic group, as always. Grateful for the opportunity to learn with the new cohort!

As the weather warms, families and educators start to talk about summer reading programs, and I see a lot of folks asking what their kids should be reading this summer.

The answer: Whatever they love.

That's always true, but it's especially important this summer. (thread)

1/6 my new article, "The Sciences of Reading Instruction" is now out in @ASCD 's @ELmagazine. In it I get to write about how "polarizing pitches" about what counts as the #scienceofreading are a lot like the claims made within in the diet/fitness industry

On my mind today: how come I had to memorize the Periodic Table in school but was never taught about redlining? How come I once spent all weekend making a dodecahedron for geometry class, but never learned about the 1921 Tulsa Massacre?

Hey, friends...If you're sharing a list of "Great Books to Share at Home" or similar, please try to feature authors from traditionally underrepresented groups. This is even more important during a pandemic that's hitting these groups harder than others in so many ways.

@DrGaryHughes Michael, the boys, and I are so sorry for your loss. Sending our love.

Here are some excellent resources from @Tolerance_org to help teachers looking to address a lot of the dangerous rhetoric in our political discourse:

Choice is choice. Let’s trust kids to read what they they need and like. This is how they come to see themselves as readers and to love reading.

"If we want to foster a true love of reading within our students, we need to stop limiting their choices in books and allow them to find their own reading identities, regardless of Lexile level, genre or page count." @bethiej1027, @The74 https://t.co/DdzUfJzUg8

Diverse literature is NOT only for readers that are a part of that community. Reading about others helps us become more aware of our thoughts and actions towards others.

@Mrs_Akis @ncte @TG2Chat Definitely work in progress, but I use a binary rubric, “I’ve got this & I’m ready for more” & “I’m not there yet, but I can be with revision.,” based on Dweck’s power of yet, Deci & Ryan’s & Pink’s motivation concepts of self-perceived competence. Feedback=specific, replicable.

@KellyGToGo Dear Rachel Maddow by Adrienne Kisner; about a girl finding her voice through writing, also perspectives of kids with neurodiversity& learning differences, LGTBQ and family relationships, and grief. Also, it’s uproariously funny. This is in my top 3 to share w/teachers in Fall.

[Michelle Hasty @michellehasty]

@laurieglover122 Hi! Penny Kittle’s Book Love is great, but she just announced the recipients so you’d have to wait for next year on that one. Look at the Laura Bush School Library grant. Also the Junior Library Guild has a great list of grants. Great to hear from you! Let me know what you find!

[katemessner @KateMessner]

I believe that as teachers of writing, we need to be writing ourselves - putting in time, learning, failing, being brave, & taking risks. That's why I run a free online summer writing camp for teachers & librarians. Hope you'll join us this summer! https://t.co/jFOCLtkHCm
