.@stacyyung introduced me to @wakelet & I am using it to curate resources about Asian & Asian American experiences with racism & #antiracism. What other resources should I add? Antiracism denounces ALL forms of racial discrimination & hate. #StopAsianHate wke.lt/w/s/IZHiI4

Join teachers nationwide from 2/14-2/21 with “I Love Teaching” week, a concept piloted by state teachers of the year and now in it’s 5th year. After all we’ve accomplished during this crazy year, let’s engage in activities that remind us why we’re teachers!!

Can we put this on repeat?!!!
Replying to @JAustinEDU
And, to be honest, if we’re so concerned about just plowing through content, where is the mental health of teachers students? You can’t cover 100% of the content in 50% of the time with 25% of the human interaction.

Everyone wants what’s best for their kids’ education. But who gets to decide what’s best for everyone? “Nice White Parents,” a new podcast from the makers of “Serial,” takes a look at one public school — and repeated efforts to change it.

I’m trying to make this move in my classroom. Turned off final marks, hiding overall percentage, formative assessment is 0% which is everything until the end of a unit or grading period. Excited to have grading conferences with students to asses learning. blogs.edweek.org/edweek/find…

@NBCTNAME loving such great insights from fellow teachers in equity issues and things to consider as a teacher. As a teacher I hold power in my class and need to own that to best serve my students.

“If there are underserved groups, there are over served groups we need to acknowledge.” - @ChristieNold This shifted my thinking for sure. We can’t talk about suppression without talking about supremacy!
