Just finished my first ever 50k for the Marine Corps Marathon 50k (virtual). Thanks for the positive vibes along the way! #runwiththemarines https://t.co/23GfB4f7Ka

This captures perfectly why windows and mirrors are so important in our curriculum. #educhat #teachertwitter @Tolerance_org @edutopia

This is going to me make cry

[Matt Fisk @mtfisk78]

Great advice! #SEL

When patients share a story they’ve told me before, I don’t stop them and say that I’ve already heard that one.

Instead I assume that I didn’t hear what they needed me to the last time, and try to listen more deeply and with new ears.

Try this with parents / friends / kids ✨

This sums up very well why, and how, we should be doing the work of anti racism in predominantly white schools. #antiracism #teaching

[Learning for Justice @learnforjustice]

"Educators cannot pretend that anti-racist work doesn’t exist simply because their student body isn’t affected." Here are goals predominantly white schools can work toward in anti-racist work. @biblio_phile https://t.co/gadetXYvVL

Great article about discussing privilege with students: "Recognizing your privilege does not mean taking the blame for the sins of the past; it means using what you have to help make things better for someone else." #Antiracism #education

[Learning for Justice @learnforjustice]

The word "privilege" produces knee-jerk reactions. But educators can and should talk to students about it—and they can do so in a way that centers agency and activism rather than guilt. https://t.co/zmai0VCT2Z

Great graduation cap!! @BowHighSchool

[Matt Fisk @mtfisk78]

@Tolerance_org is a great resource for teachers and education leaders. Many great articles and lesson ideas on their site. #edchat #sschat

[Matt Fisk @mtfisk78]

@jones_radar Absolutely. I would love to hear what you’ve done and learn more. Let’s talk soon.

A3: Ensuring that curriculum provides windows and mirrors (the opportunity to see others and the opportunity to see oneself) is important. Teachers can audit the works they read in class to ensure that Black voices are there and being heard. #CAREChatEDU

Blue skies and an ice cream truck to get us through the tough times and celebrate simple pleasures. #gratitude #icecreamyouscream #icecreamtruckfun #makethebestofeveryday #bowhighschool #bowfalcons @mtfisk78

Good advice from a GREAT guy. Thanks Dan! #SEL

Adults should be asking how they can help provide these needs to the adolescents in their care - especially now. #SEL #RemoteLearning #COVID19 #edchat

[SocialEmotionalLearning @SELearningEDU]

The Five Needs of All Adolescents via @originsonline:
1. Relationship: I want to connect w/ others
2. Autonomy: I want to be independent
3. Competence: I want to experience success
4. Fun: I want to have a good time
5. Safety: I want to feel safe physically, socially/emotionally

[Matt Fisk @mtfisk78]

This is a great story and reminder!

Hey Twitter educators….I know many of us are passionate about #edtech but the stark reality is that many families don’t have tech or WiFi at home. Thus virtual learning is not realistic. Let’s be sure to all share just as many non or low tech strategies #remotelearning #edchat

[Matt Fisk @mtfisk78]

Our district Curriculum Director made a great point - practice "physical distancing" not "social distancing". We need each other - especially now and there are ways to stay connected. #SEL #edchat

[Matt Fisk @mtfisk78]

What a week! @BowHighSchool switched to remote learning in one day and students are, in fact, learning. What a great lesson in resilience and flexibility - our teachers are modeling great habits of mind.

[Matt Fisk @mtfisk78]

As many schools head to time away from the classroom and online learning, it's important to remember that for many children school lunch (and breakfast) may be the only meals they can count on; we need to care for these students. #Covid_19 #edchat

[Matt Fisk @mtfisk78]

Very helpful list - thanks @thomasdaccord

[Tom Daccord @thomasdaccord]

As COVID-19 spreads in the U.S., schools and districts are looking for ways to administer remote learning. To that end, I compiled a brief list of resources available at @EdTechTeacher21: https://t.co/9ZsWyZPFIi #Coronavirused

[Matt Fisk @mtfisk78]

This is right on the mark - kindness and empathy make us human and can (and should) be taught. #SEL #edchat

[MindShift @MindShiftKQED]

Having #empathy, being able to consider another's perspective, and managing one's own emotions and actions, all of which are connected to kindness, are linked to #AcademicSuccess. @LindaFlanagan2 #education https://t.co/ecqbF69MEr
