To inculcate a culture of gender equality, Kerala's school text books will be revised and audited to sieve out words and phrases disparaging women. Steps will be taken to turn our schools and colleges into spaces that embrace the idea of gender equality and equal rights.

Last year, I attended one of her conversations online organized by Champaca Bookstore and right then I knew I had to read her books. Glad to be introduced to her honest, raw and brave writing. #nonfiction

Anyone trying to make sense of India's #COVID19 #SecondWave needs to read this thread. There's simply no way official numbers come close to explaining all the friends and loved ones we're all losing. @ashishkjha breaks it down, simply. We need to be honest if we want to stop it.

Quality teaching: Q = C + E [K(s+ t)] + I. That is, quality depends on committed teachers (C),  plus effective pedagogy (E), based on subject knowledge (Ks ) plus knowledge of effective teaching (Kt), supplemented by imagination (I). https://t.co/aOgwwGkrdF @IOE_London @Hallam_VC

Dr Wolf presented a 17 year meta-analysis where it has been observed that comprehension was way better when the same piece was read in print than on the screen. Technology automatically makes us skimmers and the desire to go next.

Dr Wolf says foundational literacy should be the road to deep literacy, deep reading which requires multiple comprehension processes .

[Ria Banerjee @ria20988]

"We should inspire in children the development of language and a love affair with words to make them life long readers." Dr. Maryanne Wolf, a Neuroscientist, does not dismiss foundational literacy but it is not enough for creating good readers in the world.

Last I checked it was still legal to play anti-fascist songs written & performed in the 20th century. History & all.

RIP to Sir Ken Robinson, an eloquent and indefatigable defender of the role of the arts and creativity in education. His TED talks made him famous, and he wrote major books on creativity in 2001 and 2015. Robinson was knighted in 2003. He died yesterday; his voice will be missed.
