Gaetz is rapist and a criminal and he cannot be our Attorney General.

I just can't imagine ever *not* reading entire books with kids. Part of the goal of English class is to fall in love with reading. How do you do that without reading the whole book?

Perfect illustration of the difference between "schooling" and learning. Learning is rooted in experiences. Schooling is about discrete tasks to pass an assessment. Students are starved for experiences. We should give them to them.

my main thought on this is that yes it’s true & also, literacy rates connect directly to the lack of media literacy we are currently seeing in much of our country’s population. Comprehension is such an important part of being able to read!!

"A lot of what's happening in schools to address issues of equity and justice are focused on fixing people who are marginalized so that they can work better within systems that marginalize them." - Paul Gorski (4:58 of the podcast) #EduSky open.spotify.com/episode/5c4J...

It genuinely makes me so happy to connect to people with similar careers, passions, interests, and values 🩵

This is a brilliant & beautiful book by @emmacate.bsky.social 👏 The Power of Words. Developing a Vocabulary Rich Culture in Reception. I love the pause for reflection, key takeaways, summing up & action plan structure & approach. Very informative & practical. Recommended reading 😊

Hey educators 🗣️🗣️ remember Thanksgiving week is next week! So...relax and give your babies the best week they've had in a while.

Currently developing a math skills assessment for a second grader in Maryland. I have 1:1 correspondence, number sense, parts and wholes, place value, skip counting, fact fluency, word problems and word problems with money, telling time, and shapes. What other skills should I be assessing? #EduSky

glad to be here!

The amount of educators who feel stifled by the system is overwhelming. If you ever feel the courage to speak up for what is right, know that I’ve got your back. #EDUsky

Hi! My name is Jordan and I am currently getting my masters degree in teaching with an early childhood concentration. I’m student teaching and have experience teaching pre-K as well! Looking to connect with other educators for resources and mutual support 😊 #edusky

Schools are not churches. Teachers are not preachers. Students are not a congregation. Keep religion out of public schools.

Happy Saturday, bitches.
