Important meta-analyses demonstrating the promise of guided play-based learning for younger students. I’d love to see this research reach in to adolescence. srcd.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/cd…

Here is a new study on the development of teachers' creative agency and well-being during the pandemic through a blended training experience. New evidence on how creative mindsets and practice can play a role in reducing stress and building resilience. doi.org/10.3389/feduc.…

@datalorax_ Which funder? This sounds a lot like my experience with NSF? I feel you, the frustration can go deep

This time around (again, third submission) it didn't even get to the final panel for review. A year ago, we submitted a similar application and it made it to the final panel.

As I transition out of academia, I had one major question mark - what about that big grant I submitted that I was so excited about? What if it gets funded? Well... today I found out it wasn't. For the the third time. Quick 🧵

Men need to speak up to make more space for women. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie explains.

@datalorax_ Where are you headed?

Feel like tonight was a bit of momentous occasion. My daughter Malia wrote her first ever function(s)! Written in 🐍 (I showed her #rstats first but she liked python more 🤷‍♂️). She already has the programmer look down too!

@datalorax_ Wow!

People want to suggest there isn’t a race problem with policing and then there is this kind of evidence - what makes these officers believe one of the kids is more dangerous than the other and needs to be handcuffed while the other sits by on a couch? npr.org/2022/02/16/108…

@LucasLearn In my experience this realization feels like freedom when offered to teachers. If teachers aren’t invited to integrate their various creative resources and passions into their teaching how will students ever feel invited to make the same bridge for themselves?

I think you are right. Let's show how creativity is alive and well in every subject, every aspect of life! #CreativityExchange

@Rick_Hall @DrEllenSpencer @LucasLearn @Rick_Hall @DrEllenSpencer I wonder if the issue is less art appropriating creativity in any detrimental way (can art really be held responsible?) and more about myths that go unchecked de-emphasizing the creativity and transdisciplinarity inherent in innovations in all fields

@DrEllenSpencer @LucasLearn Ok I’m going to throw this in the mix.. teaching for creativity needs to distance itself from the Arts. Creativity underpins all learning, and arts education is but one illustration of that. Arts appropriate creativity to the detriment of other creative disciplines such as STEM

All of these laws are going to come back and hunt these folks who want to deny freedom and truth. Today, I lift up the #Blackteachers across this country who believe in liberation, freedom, love ❤️ I honor them in my #BlackHistory365 nytimes.com/2022/02/12/us/…

the power of research to reveal key assumptions even, or especially, if they run counter to what we hope and expect to find. Yes, ALL four year olds need and deserve play-based preschool. Starting skill and drill hamster wheel in preschool will not work! npr.org/2022/02/10/107…

Over half of teachers want to leave the profession early, NEA poll finds. What a terrible state of demoralization in the profession npr.org/2022/02/01/107…

Authors and librarians are on the front lines of book banning but we can't do this alone y'all. We need the help of the community. We need the support of voices to make it loud and clear this is unacceptable. Also don't think these people will stop with books.

This is so flagrant...and not even far removed from #MLKDay. North Carolina, I hope you're paying attention in every local district b/c the erasure is coming. popular.info/p/north-caroli…

Last day for high school science educators to sign up for the My STEM Story National Science Educator Fellowship mystemstory.net -- after a two year delay, we are thrilled to kick it off! Inspiring and passionate BIPOC kids sharing their science stories and future dreams

I love how @tdj6899 breaks down the learning process inside the Science Genius program, highlights the crazy power of metaphor, and introduces the Rhyme Roadmap - I want to learn more - check out the RecordEd Arts podcast by @LASTNAMELIPSET
