Fox Bleeps Out Entire Kendrick Lamar Performance theonion.com/fox-ble...

racists hate, more than anything else, having to share their favorite hobby with black people

Today is a win for everybody. And by everybody I mean specifically Eagles and Kendrick Lamar fans.

100%. I’m revamping our 7th grade curriculum this year and in the second year of building our district Native education program from scratch. It’s okay for good things to take time!

My biggest advice is anything new you want to implement should be easy!

Instead of asking 10-15 questions in a lecture, choose 2-3 beforehand and build in that time.

This is a challenge! I work with my team how to balance the pain and sorrow that comes with studying our discipline to focus on the joy that still existed. Humans have always had joy within the fight for justice - and hopefully, by showing this in our classrooms, students take that into their lives!

I’m convinced the “do audiobooks count as reading?” argument all derives from those mid-90s summer reading pizza challenges.

Folks - we’re all in our 30s and 40s now. It’s no longer a competition.

Go buy your favorite pie with your adult money and let people enjoy books however they want.

Social Studies coach!

Coaching win today:

A teacher wanted to increase engagement and classroom community. We created a plan to increase the use of turn and talks to give students time to “chew” on content.

Observed today and the classroom was ELECTRIC with discussion, community, and laughter! #EduCoach

I love teaching.

AND

I am so ready for Thanksgiving Break!

our ancestors accomplished more, with less, against worse. stay locked in.

If we were re-designing the education system from scratch, one thing I’d love to see is the destruction of the linear career ladder out of the classroom.

Cyclical would be better, I think.

Out-of-classroom positions, such as building leaders? Temporary. Then back into the classroom for a stretch.

One of the dogs loves to curl up in the laundry baskets. Of clean clothes. Good thing he’s a cutie! #dogsofbluesky

This won’t be a safe space for long. Those same agitators we’re fleeing in that other place NEED our outrage & engagement to be impactful. They’ll arrive soon. Block immediately and never engage with anyone who slips thru. It’s gonna be on us to maintain whatever peace can be found on a social app.
