The City’s voting rights expert, Dr. Nathaniel Persily, has released a proposed map dividing the City into eight districts, an initial draft of the map that will be adopted in the implementation of Lowell's new election system. View map/learn more: yourlowellyourvote.com
Today's Tip of the Day is making sure students don't dismiss strategies because they don't align to their "learning style." I believe learning styles are imaginary barriers we put on ourselves.

I am not a master at online teaching but would like to share a thread of what I'm doing/what students told me they appreciate. I'm doing this in hopes that at least one of these tips helps someone out there and would invite others to share what's working in their class.

Lowell Public Schools summer meal service has been extended through September 14. Starting tomorrow (Tue, Sept 1) these are the 6 grab & go meal sites where Lowell Public Schools students will be able to pick up lunch (and breakfast for the next morning): lowell.k12.ma.us/SummerMeals
Masking up, practicing social distancing and limiting gatherings has helped slow the spread of COVID-19 in our community and put Lowell in the green. Keep doing your part to keep Lowell safe! #maskuplowell

I’ve seen many tweets about putting a school’s curriculum on community TV. But if we’ve learned anything from the old Learning Channel, it’s that students will eventually do nothing but go out on blind dates and remodel homes.

MATH IS NOT APOLITICAL. Y’all ever seen a misleading graph? Seen people with power use numbers manipulated for their benefit to win arguments/contracts? How about who’s ideas are valued and how we portray “genius” in film? MATH IS NOT APOLITICAL.
