“But a more nuanced position about the U.S. role in the Western Hemisphere is described on page 15 of the Trump administration’s recent National Security Strategy, a document written… with this moment in American territorial adventurism in mind.” nytimes.com/2026/01/05/us/po…

Really proud of this article on the ways that social media functions as an apprenticeship of observation for future teachers. It was great to work with Jeff Carpenter and #ElonEd alum Grant Doherty on it. #teachered #teachereducation #edchat doi.org/10.1080/15391523.202…

Social media and pre-service teachers’ apprenticeships of observation

“Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked.” — @TimothyDSnyder I am teaching future social studies teachers this fall and probably going to use ‘On Tyranny’ to begin the semester. #ElonEd #sschat

Really appreciate this ⁦@espn⁩ story on #sustainability in the context of basketball shoes. Hope to see more like this — pushing the conversation, giving people information, and nudging companies to do better. espn.com/espn/feature/story/…

Can basketball sneakers make the world a better place?

Stashing this tweet to use with future #socialstudies teachers to demonstrate how social media content can be used as curriculum. How are current legislative efforts against DEI similar to resistance from white people during Reconstruction and post-Brown?

As we celebrate Juneteenth, we can't overlook the fact that “anti-woke” attacks on Black history and Black political power have become one of the biggest threats to our democracy. The consequence of this threat goes all the way up to our supreme courts.

In celebration of Juneteenth, we partnered with @sircastletees and @b_pinto9 to design custom cleats 👟🎨 The funds raised will benefit @weare_org, a local nonprofit that provides anti-racism training for children, families, and educators. Bidding begins in Fan Fest tonight!

Really appreciate this from ⁦@UnderstoodOrg⁩. Recess or any other outside time should not be taken away as a punishment. I would also add that recess or time outside is not merely a “brain break” — suggesting that learning is not happening. 1/2 understood.org/en/articles/t…

Recess or time outside is more like a “brain enhancer” or “brain charger” because play and movement stimulates all kinds of brain activity. If teachers and administrators value student learning, they should provide more time outside, not less.
