@PepsMccrea I wish would be school administrators were trained in whole school multi-tiered systems of support.

Teachers: what one thing do you wish you'd been trained on earlier in your career?

@ethicistforhire The problem: Turnitin. Solution: ChatGPT

I have yet to see a good answer to the question: "What is the problem for which ChatGPT is the solution?"

The Question Is No Longer Whether Iranians Will Topple the Ayatollah nytimes.com/2022/12/12/opi…

@ambernoelle At the risk of sounding pretentious, Russians. Last winter was Tolstoy. 2020 was Chekhov.

#MahanSadratMadani faces imminent execution.

This is #MahsaMohammadi. She's a microbiology student that the Islamic Republic has kidnapped (arrested) for over 50 days. Her life is in danger, as the regime has charged her with "Cursing the Prophet", if convicted, there's a high likelihood she'll get executed. #MahsaAmini

People are being slaughtered in Iran. STOP tweeting and talking about how to salvage the JCPOA and start talking about how to support the democratic aspirations of the Iranian people who are risking their lives for a free Iran, and hence a more dependable state to engage with.

@PamelaSnow2 @dianna60607965 @RobMarchetto Agreed. And for those students who slip through without becoming proficient, secondary schools need to become places where teachers and administrators can have honest and informed conversations about why kids are struggling and how to help them.

@PamelaSnow2 @dianna60607965 @RobMarchetto We’re at a loss when faced with young people who present with a combination of academic and behavioural struggles. It is difficult to do other than keep quiet and comply when the institutional response is to shrug and shepherd kids along. And so the frog is cooked.

High schools are not designed to help students make up lost ground. Weak primary schools mean that young people remain ill-equipped for higher education or work in the modern economy. afr.com/policy/health-…

Imagine how fearful you must be of women to subjugate them. #MahsaAmini

Incredible! On the 2nd day of 3 days of nationwide strikes in Iran, this is how Isfahan’s Grand Bazaar looks like. More than 2 months into the protests, one more time, protesters are gaining momentum…#MahsaAmini #مهسا_امینی #اعتصاب_سراسری #IranRevolution

Functionally irrelevant claims about the forced-hijab by an Iranian official were meant to distract from 3 DAYS of national strikes happening now across the country. This clip from Tabriz grand bazaar, East Azerbaijan province #Iran. #MahsaAmini #مهسا_امینی #اعتصابات_سراسری

I, for one, endorse ⁦⁦@natwexler⁩ ‘s suggestion that we transcend the science of reading for a ‘science of literacy’. OPINION: Why problems with literacy instruction go beyond phonics hechingerreport.org/opinion-why-pr…

1. No, the announcement was not a legal edict to abolish the morality police, but a trial balloon floated by an official. The Islamic Republic authorities clearly understand they are in dire straits. 🧵
