When we come to rely only on a grade to tell the tale, we become unreliable narrators.

We are neither omniscient nor always objective.

We are but witnesses to the nuanced narratives of our learners.

They have lived their learning—each of them a first person with a view. #POV

@literacybigkids @padlet We used it as a landing pad for our “circle up” community builder questions during the pandemic, since kids could post and interact asynchronously

[Katie Clements @clemenkat]

@MaryEhrenworth reminds us that our students have been engaged in tremendous learning since they left our physical classrooms in March... an unprecedented pandemic, historic protests, chores, living with their families. We need to find out more about what they've learned #tcrwp

Began my morning drinking in @yeseniamontilla’s poem faster than my cup of coffee - don’t sleep on this one.

WATCH: John Lewis tearfully accepting National Book Award. He couldn't get a library card in 1956 because the library was "for whites only".

As another wave of white folks decide *now* things have gone too far, *now* I need to get involved, I thought I'd share what @4noura and I learned when we studied how attitudes & behaviors of white activists can cause burnout in antiracist activists of color. (1/thread)

No matter what school looks like in the fall, it’ll be important to acknowledge our experiences this spring and summer

On this day in 1961, John Lewis and two others were severely beaten by a mob at the Rock Hill, South Carolina, Greyhound bus terminal while protesting segregation. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. Share this #racialinjustice https://t.co/gQ58mabPOh
