Paraphrasing James Allen. Circumstances don’t define a teacher. They reveal the teacher. Who are you going to be to the students in your charge in this season... with these new platforms, without the comfort of the classroom. You gon’ teach or nah!!!!!

Feeling joyful about our new coauthored publication, Aspiring Teachers and Urban Education Programs, (rdcu.be/b0Eiein) with my friends @DrAbiolaFarinde @LoriDOCPitt & @Iramurray in @SpringerNature’s The Urban Review. #teachereducation #mentoring ✊🏾❤️

They are calling every bill EXCEPT #NOS2173 ... Attempting to wear us down but the people aren't getting tired! They're trying to attack GOD! That was the wrong move. You've called out ALL the people who BELIEVE in GOD! And those who TRULY believe in God DON'T! GET! TIRED✊🏿🔥

Justice and equity demand that we make clear “What story is told?” + “Whose story is told?” + “What is hidden and deserves sunlight?” We have work to do. #MakerEdConvening | Thank you @ValerieKinloch + @SunannaC for shining and sharing light.

- Instead of “Calm down.” Try “Breathe. I’m here to help.”- We love these helpful ideas of how to rethink our use of words to help us adults empathize, relate, & reach kids whether in or outside of the classroom. #ThinkKids #CPSapproach #SEL #KindnessMatters via @WeAreTeachers
Our words really can impact our students' success. 💚 #SEL #KindnessMatters
A few small adjustments can make a BIG difference: weareteachers.com/positive-l…

Classrooms should be like family get togethers at the dinner table. There must be a sense of mutual respect, fun, and laughter. And that creates the safety to express an innovative idea for someone else to launch from. This safety must be created by us.

A very important read. We don’t need “well meaning white people” — we need HIGH IMPACT white folks *actively* dismantling institutionalized racism and other systems of oppression that benefit us (no period at the end of that sentence bc we cannot stop!) #HipHopEd – at Pittsburgh, PA

Check out this thread: resources for educators, technologists, and stakeholders invested in the mission of humanizing schools
Hey @Allied_Media! We're huge fans of your work & been reading People's Guide to AI, DFS handbook, Teaching Community Technology Handbook, Opening Data 2. Any other published works around tech and/or education from this network we should look at?

Time for teachers to stop feeling sorry for students living in poverty. Empathize, teach them, let your rigor in teaching and commitment to relationships be your response #equity
