Well this is certainly the coolest thing that’s ever happened to me 😁

[TED-Ed @TED_ED]

How can you show your students, especially marginalized students, or those whose experiences you may not share, that you see and respect them?

The first step: be proactive.

Within all of the insanity of the past days (weeks, months), a bit of exciting news...I’m officially a tenured teacher today 🌟🌟

[Dr. Quentin Jerome Lee @DrQuentinJLee]

I spoke a few years ago that I wanted to do a Ted Talk. This summer I was asked to speak to educators that were enrolled in the Ted Talk Master Class. I had a blast. Today, I would like to announce that Ted Ed has released my "Ted Talk" on their website.

Re my last tweet thread: my favorite part of my superintendents email was when he told the community in his parent email to suck it up Re: wearing a mask by saying it was a small sacrifice compared to his family who fought Nazi’s in WWII. Something about that felt especially icky

[Mr. Iannuzzi @mr_iannuzzi]

All of this is to say I truly hope my union decides to take job action. The district office has made their position clear. I understand the value of in person instruction. But I do not understand how it is more valuable than people’s lives (5/5)

[Mr. Iannuzzi @mr_iannuzzi]

I haven’t said much about reopening b/c I’ve been hopeful that my district would eventually do the right thing & go full remote. But last night we received an email pushing back the start of school in order to be able to open with a hybrid model that puts everyone in danger (1/5)

[Mr. Iannuzzi @mr_iannuzzi]

The solution offered to coworkers who need to take a leave for child care reasons? You can enroll them in the district, but it will cost you $6000 (per kid) you probably don’t have! At least you can pay it off over two years... (4/5)

@UD_XEE Congratulations, @mr_iannuzzi !!!! So
#UDXEEproud right now. ENGL295 required reading, here you come!!! <3

[Mr. Iannuzzi @mr_iannuzzi]

I am so proud of the students standing up to make their demands heard at this meeting (just like I was at the teach in) despite others at the meeting directly calling them uninformed, unprepared, etc. Bravo!

[Mr. Iannuzzi @mr_iannuzzi]

“No student should feel less human than any other regardless of race, ethnicity, country of origin, sexual orientation, etc.” - finally a statement from the superintendent of my district. Hoping there are actions to back up these words.

[Mr. Iannuzzi @mr_iannuzzi]

Grateful for opportunity to listen and learn at the teach-in in Chatham today. We have so much work to do, and I hope my fellow teachers and admin will join me in learning more and committing to doing that work.

[Mr. Iannuzzi @mr_iannuzzi]

So grateful to have been a part of @TED_ED Building Together event today! Thank you for another opportunity to share ideas with my fellow educators.

[Mr. Iannuzzi @mr_iannuzzi]

@JEFTeach Congrats!! This is so amazing and so well deserved! UD is lucky to have you.

[Mr. Iannuzzi @mr_iannuzzi]

Such an important read about the community where I teach. We all need to be doing better, myself included. https://t.co/v57YY4383c

@heatherrocco Love Florence! I could listen to her music all day.

And though Billy Joel might be obvious, he’s definitely worth mentioning!

[Mr. Iannuzzi @mr_iannuzzi]

Shoutout to Whitney Houston’s greatest hits for accompanying me through docs based writing conferences this morning! Any suggestions for an artist to join me for tomorrow’s set?

[Mr. Iannuzzi @mr_iannuzzi]

@heatherrocco This is great. Thank you!

[Mr. Iannuzzi @mr_iannuzzi]

@heatherrocco I’ll give anything a shot! All recommendations appreciated here.
