How does text structure create meaning? Example: “ergodic texts make you work for the story.” Who’s ready to traverse this book with me? 🙋‍♀️ #houseofleaves #markzdanielewski #booktiktok #CPED6340 https://t.co/k3UnSjXfqj

@JasonStarita So insightful! Answered a lot of questions I’ve been thinking about recently. Thanks for the recommendation 👌

[Rachel Todd @mstodd_reads]

In 2017, @NPR reviewed the “open school” model. PRO: collaboration and student-centered. CON: noisy. There’s a connection to asynchronous learning. I wonder if more schools will start adopting this instructional method...

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

Most of the English-speaking world finds the diaeresis inessential. Even Fowler, of Fowler’s “Modern English Usage,” says that the diaeresis “is in English an obsolescent symbol.” But here, at The New Yorker, it persists. https://t.co/lt53ycnUIO

A new way of thinking about the role of schools? Students as employees? Teachers as managers? #CPED6340

I'm proud to sponsor legislation granting students an excused absence for a mental health day.

Our students are carrying a lot of weight and trauma and deserve an opportunity to decompress. #StudentMentalHealthDays

The ultimate catch-22: “Teachers are pleading with families to not make this a fight between people who ultimately want the same thing.”
