#TeachingTuesday on a Wednesday : really loving Mona Gleason's book Small Matters: Canadian children in sickness & health for a lot of reasons but she's so generous in her discussion of other people's work that it makes it a joy to use to talk about historiography.

An illustration (made via AI) of a green-skinned old man with a long white beard and mustache and glowing orange eyes with pin-point split irises and a pointy hat on his head. His hand is out with a Jack-o-Lantern hovering in his grasp and a walking stick in his other hand resting by his head. There is a spooky church in the background with a full moon above it and a couple of dead trees beside and behind the old man.

The tradition of Jack-o-Lanterns originated from Stingy Jack, a man from Irish mythology who outsmarted the Devil. 😈

Now pumpkins are carved to ward off evil spirits! 🎃

Anyway #TeachingTuesday on a Friday night: Jane Nicholas' work on the body in Canada is so fascinating to me. I've already talked in this class about her extensive work on the freak show and displaying defective bodies and now I'm talking about her work on beauty pageants because she's great.

#TeachingTuesday afternoon edition : reading Tarah Brookfield's work on Montreal's Council of Women during the 1917 conscription crisis election. A lot of Canadian history sees Quebec as distinct and Brookfield is trying to get into it more complexly.

#TeachingTuesday on Wednesday : reading Nic Clarke's work on "mentally deficient" children and reciting Zelizer's line about economically useless but emotionally priceless child. Clarke does great work on how doctors didn't view defective children as priceless - but their parents often did.

New research in @jamanetworkopen.com finds that over-the-counter (OTC) oral contraceptives may improve equitable access 📈 to contraception.
💊 OTC pill users were more likely than prescription users to be uninsured, adolescent, and residents of rural areas.

This week’s asynchronous class dug into community-content connections

After reading Learning for Justice blogs + watching a @todos-math.bsky.social Live video, candidates began exploring their placement communities through walks, interviews, and online searches

Life has really been life-ing this last week…..but I committed to it so I am still going to post my #teachingtuesday post (just a day late 🤷🏻‍♀️)

Graphic reads "84% of orders to a nationwide medication abortion provider were from patients in states with significant restrictions. Source: Aiken et al., JAMA"

Telemedicine 💊 has significantly increased abortion access in the Midwest and South, especially in areas with restrictive laws, a new study shows.

📝 Key finding: 84% of a telemedicine service's prescriptions went to patients in states with significant restrictions.

Teaching Tuesday: This week my class compared practice standards across disciplines and then built Practice Pathways for our own units.

The best part? Seeing how across math, science, ELA, and social studies, practices drive coherence.

A clustered white board with lots of scattered writing about culture, frenchifying, economic role of women, the Jesuit Relations.

I wish I had found this great article that Mairi and her coauthor wrote about ways of using the research in the classroom! I hadn't seen it before just now. 🙃 I hope I did it justice.

This week’s class was asynchronous, which gave my students time to dig into disciplinary practices.

The big shift: seeing standards not as checklists, but as doorways into the ways to be a doer of the discipline outside of schools.
