Tim Walz said it best: Censorship has no place in our libraries. The Hate U Give has been banned in numerous libraries—but that won’t stop me from sharing our truth. Our stories are meant to be heard. We will not be silenced.

Today I wanted to do something a bit different and recommend my ten FAVORITE books, the books that I shove into the hands of strangers, the books I think everyone should know the joy of reading at least once.

“The No. 1 reason teachers leave the profession is the pay. The No. 1 reason parents don’t want their children to become teachers is the pay. So, the No. 1 solution...must be increasing teacher salaries.” —John Arthur, 6th grade teacher and @myUEA member

Is 'chalant' the opposite of 'nonchalant?'

There is no word 'chalant' in English. 'Nonchalant' is from the Old French 'nonchaloir,' ("to disregard").

It's from 'non-' ("not") + 'chaloir' ("to concern").

We hope you have an air of easy unconcern or indifference about this.

“The fact that you enjoyed being in class made me enjoy learning in class.”
This! Let teachers be their authentic selves in the classroom. This is how we inspire the next generation of teachers and retain the ones we have! Passion is contagious! @PADeptofEd #TeachingwithComics @NewsHourExtra @usedgov @GovernorShapiro

We have a longstanding problem in this country in that we don’t trust teachers to teach. And so often we don’t offer enough time for professional development to learn how to best teach students in the ways they learn. https://t.co/F5KYirHl3j

I'm a 🔥believer in that academic discourse has to be EXPLICITLY taught! It pushes Ss to think & retain info.

This template will make S thinking visible, guide talking points & provide scaffolds for an effective think/pair/share
