Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, who oversees St. John Episcopal Church, reacts to Pres. Trump’s visit and says police using force to clear out peaceful protestors is “antithetical to the the teachings of Jesus.” https://t.co/Uqx4I6R7YF

Ibram X. Kendi's antiracist reading list. As he writes: "Think of it as a stepladder to antiracism, each step addressing a different stage of the journey toward destroying racism’s insidious hold on all of us." https://t.co/vaOiXTPk78

My favorite quote on this topic is in Jonathan Kozol's "Savage Inequalities": "Spending money to reduce class size is 'not a very prudent investment strategy,' said [Chester] Finn, who sent his daughter to Exeter, where class size is 13.”

Very sad to hear former Sun photographer Perry Mah has died. Many in the #yegmedia community have fond and colourful memories of Perry. He'll be missed.

Some believe when we give #students second chances for things like missed work, not being prepared, or not arriving on time, we are enabling them.

I’d argue that we are showing them compassion, #kindness & understanding are quite acceptable responses in #life.

If those in power decided that kids should be forced to memorize the phone book (in the name of rigor and college readiness, of course), workshops would pop up with titles like “Best Practices for Implementing the New Competency-Based 21st-Century Phone Book Assessments”

If you ask a teacher what they want from their admin, they’re probably not gonna say “instructional leadership.” Most will simply say: “SUPPORT!” It’s important to note, though… that when they do feel supported, they are much more receptive to the instructional leadership.
