Standardized Testing and the Third Reich Teachers are morally conflicted by the utter mindlessness and the coarsening effect of what they are forced to put children through. They cannot even imagine the kind of mentality of an Education Secr...

Urged to speak out, education researchers face a high-stakes choice — The Hechinger Report It’s a bit like asking patients in intensive care to make the case for their own treatment.

#EducationResearchers who support #StandardizedChildAbuse aka #standardizedtesting SHOULD be fired.

SCA destroyed USed to an extent unprecedented since #segregation.

I experienced this #datadevolution first-hand over my 30+ year #teaching career in #Virginia's #Title1 #schools.

Thursday question for educators:

When did a colleague say something informally — not in a meeting — that changed how you saw a student?

A hallway. A duty. In passing.

What was it? What changed?

Listening to @michellekindt.bsky.social in tonight's @linguascope.com webinar right now. We are looking at student output but looking more closely at Dr Stephen Krashen's work on comprehensible input & that of Bill Van Patten #mfltwitterati #mflchat #langchat #educhat #edubluesky #blueskyedu #tprs

#Edusky/ #Educhat: The #EducationIndustrialComplex (a wing of the #centrist 🔵 Party) HATES when I refer to #standardizedtesting as #StandardizedChildAbuse / #StandardizedTeacherAbuse.

The #NEA & #AFT are part of that rancid complex.

🫠 Have a nice upcoming spring 2026 testing season!

Hooray!
@sarahsbrannen.bsky.social and I are thrilled to be launching our new book at @silverunicornbooks.bsky.social this coming Saturday. If you live nearby, we hope you can make it.

The next time a self-proclaimed education-pundit crows about the “Southern surge,” I’ll think of @jenniferberkshire.bsky.social’s article. Trying to raise test scores while bullying teachers and students into poverty and submission is the real legacy. #MTBoS #ITeachMath #EduChat

If you were building a 3-book “must-have” shelf to support a PLC or mentor a teacher, which titles make the cut—and what’s the one big takeaway from each? If you had to start a physical book collection of Educational Resources for you to share with either a PLC or a teacher you are helping mentor, what are two or three titles you would start with? What…

Gemini said The sun streams through the floor-to-ceiling windows of a modern learning hub, but the real energy is buzzing in the air between the gadgets and the greenery. In the center of the room, a sleek, white robotic cart stands ready, its digital interface glowing blue as it carries a curated collection of physical books and tablets—a bridge between the tactile and the digital. In the background, the "Invisible Library" is in full swing. A student sits perched on a beanbag, lost in a virtual world through a VR headset, while others huddle around a 3D printer, watching their digital designs take physical form. It’s a space where the traditional boundaries of a library have vanished, replaced by a seamless blend of technology, creativity, and community. Floating above this scene is a reminder of the conversation that fuels this innovation. A logo featuring a steaming mug of tea and an open pair of glasses signals the heart of the community: #TLSkyChat (Teacher Librarian Chat). It’s a call to action for educators to gather and discuss the evolving landscape of literacy. The details are clear: mark your calendars for Wednesday, February 11th, at 8 PM ET. Whether you’re there for the tech or the tea, it’s time to explore the future of the Invisible Library.

Join us for #TLSkyChat, The Invisible Library on Wednesday at 8pm EST/5pm PT.

We will explore ways to reach Ss who feel the library is not for them. Let’s find new paths that welcome everyone into the library.
