This....admin should NOT be reporting on teachers. It's like the bullies reporting on deficits of their victims to justify their continued (in) action. Thank you @heymrsbond
"A Recent Report Sparked Ire in the Field. One Teacher Explains Why" is NEW @educationweek post by @heymrsbond edweek.org/teaching-learning…

+ include health benefits and maternity/paternity leave
3 steps to revitalize public education: 1. Upgrade all school facilities across the country. 2. No teacher makes less than $50K a year. 3. Invest in hiring new teachers to explicitly lower class sizes. The issue isn’t money it’s misdirected priorities. We could do this.

Honored to address #STEMeducation and #diversity in #space at the #HumansToMars summit! Access to quality science in early learning is critical to closing later gaps in industry. When exposure is only in college, no wonder more don't enter the field!

I’m so excited to be on a STEM panel at the 2023 #HumansToMars Summit featuring many leaders in aerospace, innovation, policy experts, STEM education, artists, entertainment, and many others. Join the mission in DC to Mars for the benefit of all humans on Earth! @ExploreMars

Student ideas at work! This is what pre packaged "expert" created and locally removed content lacks-the ability to adapt to student needs or use ideas to guide learning-as scientists do. I love seeing teachers comfortable with uncertainty! Give a follow – at Arlington, VA
Classroom investigations mostly demonstrate things we want children to “know," In the #InvestigationsProject, we purposefully engage students with uncertainty about evidence and uncertainty about what claim they can make from their investigation.

Headed to Baja for a week of marine science as an Ecology Project International teaching fellow! I'm excited to use this as a research; I designed a study to explore of field programs as impactful teacher PD. Bridging the research-practice gap #phdvoice #TeachersofTwitter – at Alexandria, VA

This. 💯! Shouting from rooftops of crumbling buildings. What we yearn for: time to grow, teach, collaborate AND not have to give all of our personal time or money to do so. Choice in meaningful PD, to be included in decision making. Invite.Listen.Include. #Einsteinfellows22

Turning off notifications and setting timers for planned work intervals, really does increase productivity. Who knew! What other tips do you use to keep focused? @AcademicChatter @PhDVoice #phdchat #phdlife #PhD #PhDone – at Alexandria, VA

We’re witnessing history on Capitol Hill – by unanimous consent. The first woman to be elected President Pro Tempore of the Senate. Congrats to you, Patty. I look forward to continuing our work together.
I'm honored to officially become the President Pro Tempore of the Senate today. It's not lost on me the significance of what it means to be the first woman to serve in this role. This is another sign that slowly but surely, Congress is looking more like America.

Have you ever written something so boring you put yourself to sleep? No? Then you haven't written a lit review of a theoretical framework @PhDchatter @AcademicChatter #phdlife #litreview #phdvoice #phd #snooze #AcademicTwitter – at Arlington, VA

Today a Mapuche school in rural Chile taught me more about education than my PhD program. Who knew learning could exist in harmony with community? Oh that's right-everyone but us. Living out our "theories" and "evidence based practice" effortlessly #AcademicTwitter #edchat – at Quellón, Chile

Before the next election, you might want to find a better way to poll anyone under the age of 30 since they would rather pick up a pinless grenade than a call from an unknown number.
