Juneteenth has never been a celebration of victory, or an acceptance of the way things are. It's a celebration of progress. It's an affirmation that despite the most painful parts of our history, change is possible––and there is still so much work to do.

This young King would have been 25 years old today. Let’s not forget his legacy and the movement that his tragic death ignited. #TrayvonMartin #BlackLivesMatter

Being positive is such an important part of building relationships. It doesn’t mean you over look behaviors. Just approach it differently in the beginning. It can be a game changer and it’s FREE🤗.

Educators must shift our perspectives of poverty. Poverty doesn't equal deficient, even if student lack tools or resources doesn't mean that they are not inherent brilliant #hiphoped

This is saddening. I work with students who receive breakfast and lunch from the school and to think that they will be given less nutritional food, thus meaning less energy in their day...it's tough to hear. They, truly every student, deserve BETTER.

Could this weaken the fight against childhood obesity?

"On the surface level, what wishing bad on a kid really means is that you wished your job could be easier."

"Because, those bad wishes are akin to psychological violence. "

This is blog is a must read for all teachers, esp. for new teachers.

I heard it out the mouths of too many teachers. Wishing bad on students. A deeper look at what they really mean #NewBlogPost #EdEquity

What are practical ways to implement restorative practices? #EWopinion https://t.co/tIPzNQSg5h

What topics do your students want to know more about? What fascinates them? Students do their best analytical work with texts they know and love—whether including movie and video game reviews.

Found this video in the Black Lives Matter Week of Action lesson plan for HS students and wow, I am floored (in a good way). This is exciting that so many HS students with bold teachers are going to watch this video and LEARN (students and teachers both)

[Andrea Bustillos @msbustillos1]

"Well you have to be nice to be a good teacher" Yup, that's a start hahaha

[edutopia @edutopia]

Oh boy, is this advice tough on teachers? 😅

[Matthew R. Morris @callmemrmorris]

Count the "inspiring" teachers you had. Then count the "inspiring" adults you encountered when you were a kid. What are the differences? #EducationNeverDies

[NEA @NEAToday]

Black history is much more than slavery, and it’s important that our students understand that.

Plan your participation in #BlackLivesMatteratSchool week by implementing a @BHLMatSchool lesson plan.⬇️

Can't decide which is worse:

1. Throwing "equity" into a bland mix of institutional labels and acronyms like a pinch of salt into an ocean of boiling water.

2. Storing "equity" in a broom closet and getting it out to mop up a flood 2 or 3 times a year.

I know both aren't good.

The catastrophic fires in Australia are the latest example of the very real and very urgent consequences of climate change. It’s on us to stay focused and protect the one planet we’ve got for the next generation: https://t.co/dqytauPeXf

This is my first blog post in quite awhile, dedicated to all educators working with ELs. I know I could dig so much deeper, but hope the article & #visualnote are resources you can share with others in 2020! https://t.co/B1gbZSZYAJ

Better teachers and teaching means opening the gates to who can become a teacher. If we don't change that, we will forever be fussing over how the "outside" looks while the "inside" is rotten #EdEquity

[Matthew R. Morris @callmemrmorris]

It's 2020 man, we need to ask some real questions about the state of public education.
Things like:
1) Do we need to revisit the purpose of it?
2) How does it (still) foster racism and a double down on white privilege?
3) How can we impede the psychological violence it creates?

@facinghistory @LizPasqTeaches I know you're creating a lesson about Reconstruction! Seems helpful.
