Thinking of the children unable to go to school and the teachers finding new ways to reach them, health care workers tirelessly tending to the sick without end, and so many families struggling to get by. We continue to stand with you. My heart is with the people of Puerto Rico.

Relieved to hear that some of the decision-makers in my state agree it’s a bad idea to throw a standardized test at kids after the year they’ve endured. I’m not a fan of standardized tests ever, but this year, it’d be cruel and more damaging than usual to administer them. #MCAS

Even the best teachers who seem to have it all together still need encouragement and to know they’re appreciated and the same is true for administrators too.

When anti-Blackness is so widespread, it is especially important for Black children to know that they are precious and brilliant. One powerful way to affirm Blackness and Black identities is through reading. ow.ly/qK1I50E4xdM

What matters isn’t how well a teacher holds students’ attention; it's whether a teacher knows enough about how learning happens to stop being the center of attention.

By avoiding materials “that are expensive, out of the ordinary, or both,” most students can have experiential-learning opportunities at home. edutopia.org/article/5-ways-…
"Anti-racism work is all too often done as a performance—to be popular and look 'woke.' It can be painstakingly ornamental. It needs instead to embed community efforts, organizers, and the actual people who live with America’s oppression." ow.ly/dVZG50DtNWv
