I’m watching folks say I told you so about the declining NAEP scores blaming school closures but are absolutely silent about schools closed in Jackson, MS because of no water right now.
Campus Without Walls (CWW) is an educational initiative that leverages the power of public schools and technology to promote greater equity, access, opportunity, and liberation for students and under-resourced students. Are you a middle of HS teacher? Apply to be a part of CWW!
@JayWamsted The switch to all digital needs to be looked at through the lense that some students don’t have the means or access to be all digital. It can be setting up and reinforcing the digital divide. Also, my 3rd graders do so much better when given paper assignments and assessments.
There is no ‘teacher shortage’. There are thousands of qualified experiences teachers who are no longer teaching. There’s a shortage of respect and proper compensation for teachers allowing them to actually teach.

@KJWinEducation Lack of communication between the state, districts, schools. I teach in Boston and didn’t hear about it from my school or district. But again it is on me to pursue the PD and devote the time to it, on top of my schools required PD.
Superintendents, principals, and legislators. Your PD mandate on reading, w/o stipends, likely feels like this:
"You did what we told you, but we were wrong and wasted your time. Please spend personal time learning, without compensation, to do the next thing we think is right."
Every teacher is a leader. We need more teachers to start embracing their role as educational leaders through their teacher agency and teacher identity. It's important to understand that you do not need an administrative title to create change - Be that voice. #teacherleaders

Today marks the end of what is surely one of the worst terms in #SCOTUS history. Guns and prayer and abortion got most of the attention. But that's not all the Court did. Here are just some of the Court's bad decisions:

This month marks 40 years since Vincent Chin was beaten to death with a baseball bat by two men who were fined $3,000 and received no jail time.
The killing sparked calls for justice and a national movement among Asian Americans. @IAmAmnaNawaz reports.
