Americans (and the world) aren't ready for the economic disaster that is about to happen (and how the administrations' lack of mathematical understanding will make it way worse). We need more funding for social studies education, including economics education ASAP. www.axios.com/2025/04/03/h...

It's always lovely to run into folks that talk the same talk and approach challenges around Inquiry/SS similarly. Can never find enough fellow travelers! Excited to find more as the day progresses. #sschat #WCSS

When Dr. McParker works with his preservice/new teachers he found these were the areas that they needed support for incorporation and practice with Inquiry/SS projects. Pathways, Investigative process, Alignment and Personalization. #sschat #WCSS

In this session w/ Dr. McParker - he ticked thru so many things that I have seen when Ts try to find time 4 Inquiry/SS - no time, no set curriculum support, no coaching for the subject - It's tough. This was 1 strategy I used w/ a partner school in WI - docs.google.com/document/d/1... #WCSS #sschat

If you are running an EdChat tonight - on any time in the coming weeks - you have a moral obligation to talk about what is going on with the Dept. of Education. We cannot pretend this is business as usual.

I just finished this curation project I was working on for a WI district. Trying to link the ELA curriculum EQ to 'Inquiry Snacks' related to #sschat. Using a blend of primary/secondary, historic/modern resources and the Project Zero Thinking Routines I created this! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Wake up, Wisconsin! It's time to show up, put up and vote. Talk to your neighbors - this isn't business as usual when a billionaire attempts to buy a seat on the WI Supreme Court.
