“Some kids think faster than others, but that doesn’t mean that the kids who aren’t as fast don’t understand.” This instructional strategy encourages more children to participate in class discussions. 👍

It was so much fun filling the room with our multilingual learners and celebrating their reclassification! We are TP! @TorreyPinesHS @SDUHSD @RobCoppo

Kids who feel like they are not good at a particular subject can and will change their minds if they are made to feel like they belong. Classrooms that value connection=rigor for all. utdanacenter.org/blog/belong….

Sometimes, teacher exhaustion comes from the pressure to BE something for our students: we want to be inspiring, funny, interesting, exciting, whatever. Instead, just focus on being there. Be interested, and listen. That’s what they need the most, and it is so much easier!

I’m so happy to see an article focus on this topic. Our young men and boys have especially struggled this past year without the normal avenues for expressing emotions/feelings. We have to work on building these opportunities for expression back into our schools.

Boys can benefit from a school culture that destigmatizes mental health issues, creates opportunities to connect to other boys, and provides support from adults. edutopia.org/article/are-we-…

CA's students deserve to see themselves & their stories in the classroom. Today’s historic approval of a model #ethnicstudies curriculum empowers schools to uplift marginalized voices, achieve racial justice & create lasting change: cde.ca.gov/nr/ne/yr21/yr211r…

So an anti-LGBT church called Adventure church is trying to buy The Tower theater in the most lgbt friendly area of Fresno (the arts district, obvs♥️) So... it’s for sale if someone wants to scoop them @LGBTfdn @chelseahandler @TheEllenShow @ActuallyNPH or maybe a Gofundme?

He was one of the world’s greatest teachers. He wasn’t perfect; in fact, he made many mistakes. A good reminder to just keep going! #equityisloveinaction

Accessible information for all students that they can use to become better leaders. We need them. Thank you @Newsela

It is important to teach students civics. The following Text Set can help teachers equip a new generation of young Americans with the media literacy and discourse skills they need to participate in a thriving democracy. newse.la/2Xledvq

Asking your kids to solve real life problems....probably some of the best parenting advice EVER. Yesterday our 12 year old figured out all on his own how to use an old cell phone for a webcam. Total satisfaction!
Protecting kids from struggle may be counterproductive. That's why Adam Grant asks his kids for help when he faces a setback. He gets good advice from them, and he can reflect that wisdom back when they struggle. ow.ly/6tud50BHkMA
