This year I had the incredible opportunity to revise and craft this document with a group of phenomenal educators. Thanks @Eshults11 @ritamshaffer @DrBookGeek. And a million thanks to all of the educators who inspired our work. #NCTEvillage

@nationalcares I have called customer service 3 times and gotten the run around. Then directly called the location SIX times only to be hung up on every time. Is it possible to actually speak to someone about a loss damage report on a car that was NOT damaged at drop off?

@eddiebauer I have made 7 calls to your #customerservice, 2 email exchanges, and 1 online chat. Still no resolution to my order issue. My order has been “in process” for 3 weeks. No one can confirm when (or even if) it will ship. Is there someone else who can help?

Back to school looks a little different this year, but we are working hard for an amazing start. #austinisd #casiscougarpride #virtuallearning

@AustinISD @Geronimo4AISD said “Those who are comfortable to return to school will be asked to do so.” What if none of us are comfortable? @AISDSupt @AustinISD

We know our parents and staff have some questions regarding how school may look in just over a month. Though the situation and the guidance we receive change frequently, we have created a video that addresses many of the questions we are hearing. youtube.com/watch?v=5mOU-b…

Independent reading leads to an increased volume of reading. The more one reads, the better one reads. The more one reads, the more knowledge of words and language one acquires. The more one reads, the more fluent one becomes as a reader. ncte.org/statement/inde…

@AustinISD It doesn't feel as though our voices are essential if so many of us are not allowed in to the discussion. This is an important conversation and if we are invited, we should be able to attend.

AISD to host conversation circles around reopening Your voice is an essential part of our considerations as we examine the possibilities for the 2020–21 school year. The district is hosting a series of eight virtual conversation circle events: austinisd.org/announcements/… #AISDProud

To my white educators: Today, you’re posting about social justice, buying antiracist books, following brown folks, and temp changing your profile pictures. (thread) Here’s what I need you to do tomorrow:

Dear new followers: Everything that I do - parenting, teaching, writing - is about dismantling white supremacy. I post stuff here. Sometimes. But know that Twitter ain't activism. Activism is what you do in your communities.

Distance learning day one. Our read aloud will be "Stamped" by @JasonReynolds83 and @DrIbram. We will have the conversations we need to have and now we have the time to have them. I am considering this a #giftoftime
