Secondary RLA teachers: Please consider teaching rhetoric and rhetorical analysis as early as you can. The earlier students get authorial moves for a particular audience, the earlier they can start to wrestle with deep and critical analysis in more complex texts.

P.S. — and don’t take the easy route. Don’t just ask the kids with “long names” if they have a nickname. If that’s the move, Ask EVERYONE. That way, we aren’t hinting at a social cue to assimilate. (Because classrooms operate within dominant ideology frameworks, too). — TP

The actual presidency aside — The intentional and micro-aggressive mispronunciation of VP Kamala Harris’s name throughout — prompts me to remind all teachers that as you are getting new rosters of children for the school year, please learn the correct pronunciation of ALL of…

A name is a vital piece of identity. Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible” comes to mind. “Because it is my name. Because I cannot have another in my life! […] I have given you my soul, leave me my name”

@KikiTheShepherd Man I hate you for this tweet lol

Nothing good has ever come from me doing what other people wanted me to do. The other day, a good friend told me: “you didn’t get this far from pressure, you got this far because it’s who you are”. I have to remind myself of this daily. Just doing me for me here.

Lastly. I want to send the message to all my kids (and your kids, too) — standardized assessments are never the full picture. So whether you did well or not, one test taken on one day at one specific time does not speak to your holistic knowledge or intelligence.

[TG Hubbard @trill_professor]

We know that standardized tests are flawed and we won’t stop fighting to ensure equity in all the ways! So when my students (facing all odds) do the big dance on these types of tests — I show our full fledge!!

Our five AP passers were all culturally and linguistically diverse. 3 are Latinx. 2 are Black. All of them were taught using culturally responsive pedagogy and grounded in a multi literacy approach to the many “literacies” that exist.

FIVE of my kids passed their AP English Exams. This is historic for our campus and their families!! Congratulations to them!

[TG Hubbard @trill_professor]

It’s AP Score Day!! Send me your scores if I taught you this year!

Notice I’m not putting an emphasis on working or using your talents for someone else. I’m just saying… don’t count yourself out EVER.

[TG Hubbard @trill_professor]

And today, I would like to remind you that you are sitting on funds of knowledge and goldmines of talent. Don’t sell yourself short this week.
