In addition to submitting our grant, @drkwoodley.bsky.social and I are also working on something big and, possibly, career-defining as "baby" scholars 😁 #publishing #research #teamwork #belonging #dei #socialjustice #forourstudents #k12 #highered

A while back, I wrote a novel set in 1930s #Canada. One of the themes was the rise of #Fascism. It might interest some folks. #StubbornSeason History repeats itself. images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/S/com...

People expect us, as Ts, to have all the answers to the questions & enigmas in our content area(s), but guess what, we don't & that is okay. Ts should never stop searching & #questioning their knowledge, #teaching, & #learning. If we do stop, we provide irreparable disservice to our Ss.

With both RFK Jr and Gabbard confirmed, two people who rose to prominence spreading conspiracy theories about public health and national intelligence will now run the U.S. government agencies in charge of those areas. For someone studying these conspiracy theories for a decade... this is nauseating.

So excited and hopeful for the large grant my good friend, partner in crime, and fellow EdD graduate Kara Woodley and I submitted to the Spencer Foundation to research the sense of belonging teachers create in their classrooms through critical self-reflection. Now, more than ever, this is needed.

I am a veteran K-12 French & Spanish teacher (over 20 years’ experience). I have always strived to know my students as individuals with their own unique, human experiences and identities. Now, all that work is deemed “indoctrination”, “woke”, etc. (1/2)

There is nothing more insane than Mike Johnson - from the state of LOUISIANA - setting the precedent of conditioning disaster relief on political concessions. Louisiana.

@drjasonnsmith.bsky.social begins his session on critical interculturality with this quote from Simone de Beauvoir. Translation: the oppressor would not be so strong if they did not have accomplices among the oppressed —Simone de Beauvoir

We know interculturality is at the heart of our standards, but it must go beyond “I can act respectfully with members of another culture”. Instead we need to be enacting a critical interculturality as described below. @drjasonnsmith.bsky.social #actfl24

My #duallanguage students use Play-Doh for narrative pre-writing. The Play-Doh helps kids build #vocabulary & orally rehearse ideas w/ peers before getting words on a page. It’s a joyful & #multisensory opportunity to develop “seed” ideas w/ a beginning, middle & end.
