What can inclusive curriculum look like? Here are some ideas straight from the #VikingU #LGBTQIA PD. Such an awesome presentation put on by students as leaders! #vikingdiff

Found a @trishroddy busy at work while attending the #VikingU keynote! #vikingdiff #VikingDiff “Culture is built 30 seconds at a time.” So true!

#OneDegreeShift changes can make such a difference. We can ALL be #DifferencMakers one step at a time. We can do this. #VikingU #VikingDiff #vikingdiff

More people need to be talking about Jackson, Mississippi. The city ran out of bottled water to give residents yesterday. It’s the largest city in Mississippi. It’s 80% Black. Their water system is failing because of years of neglect. This is environmental racism.

@NicholasFerroni Just thinking here… if so many companies give year-round discounts to ‘first-responders’ like police and firefighters, why not teachers too? We are also first responders (or already on site) and we put out fires all day long. No disrespect to anyone, at all. But teachers too.

I would love to make a thread of all of the teacher discounts for back-to-school. Feel free to share any businesses that have discounts for teachers and any links/codes that are offering teachers discounts. #backtoschool #teacherdiscounts #teachers

@NicholasFerroni Michael’s craft store teacher discount is a standard 10% but is currently 20% for a limited time

I'm giving away a personalized pre-order copy of ODDER from my local indie, @ChildrensBW_LA. RT & follow to enter! I'll pick a random winner on 8/8. If it's not your week, I'll be doing the same thing each Saturday until the book's release. Or should that be Sotterday? 🦦💙
