@IssaquahSchools consider the words of @SecCardona . Our proposed proposed budget is a MUCH LOWER bar than March 2020. Please get creative so our students and staff don’t pay the consequences.

#CougarMountainMiddleSchool students Matisse & Izzy recently created a poetry slam piece as part of their classwork. Recorded & shared with permission from the student authors & their families, please enjoy “Calamity Upon Me,” by Izzy and Matisse. 👏 youtu.be/D06HKO4ZNRE

@erinekwok @S10Bird That’s awesome! Is there a video/interview?

Hearing @S10Bird saying that The Outsiders is one of her all time favorite books and movies, just as my classes will start reading it this week is awesome! #staygold

@SecCardona I totally agree! Which is why I’m disgusted that our school district is proposing significant cuts in mental health supports at our schools to make up for a budget shortfall! king5.com/mobile/article…

We shouldn’t go back to the schools of March 2020 – that’s a low bar. Right now, we have the chance to be bold – stronger mental health support, better training, and the opportunity to address inequities that existed long before COVID-19.

"Why do we teach reading?" My mom, the smartest woman I know, past reading & English teacher, reading specialist and principal, asked me that question this week.

@KellyGToGo Thank @KellyGToGo ! Modeling process and epic failures even help student agency. How do you and @pennykittle balance this approach with accommodations required for our SPED kiddos? I find graphic organizers are almost always present for kids with identified writing disabilities.

Another example of why a media studies class should be mandatory for all students. Look at the different choices made here in images and words.

@WeAreTeachers Predictably unpredictable.

More students than ever got F’s in first term of 2020-21 school year — but are A-F grades fair in a pandemic?washingtonpost.com/education/2020…

@DanielleStipe Totally a compliment

parentwiser.org/events Great community learning activity!

Unsolicited opinion from a black man: everything that's wrong with race in America is three white men starting a conversation "about race" and having it immediately degenerate into an argument about "law and order."

Hey @FoxNewsSunday, I think classroom management training is in order for Chris Wallace by some of America’s classroom teachers: they are masters!

@realDonaldTrump @GOP Give me a break! If that was truly everyone’s motivation, when we were faced with this decision while President Obama was in office, those Republican senators would have done what you are saying right now. But they didn’t. I can’t wait till we get to vote you out!

.@GOP We were put in this position of power and importance to make decisions for the people who so proudly elected us, the most important of which has long been considered to be the selection of United States Supreme Court Justices. We have this obligation, without delay!

@realDonaldTrump Schools are NOT closed. We teachers are working harder than ever to teach America’s children. STOP spreading lies!

The Democrats never even mentioned the words LAW & ORDER at their National Convention. That’s where they are coming from. If I don’t win, America’s Suburbs will be OVERRUN with Low Income Projects, Anarchists, Agitators, Looters and, of course, “Friendly Protesters”.

Even 12 year olds know you can “show calm” and still tell the truth. VOTE like your life depends on, because it really does. instagram.com/p/CE9T4cogSrGp…

"I wouldn’t trust the U.S. secretary of percussion to tell me how to play Smells Like Teen Spirit if they had never sat behind a drum set, so why should any teacher trust Sec of Education Betsy DeVos to tell them how to teach, without her ever having sat at the head of a class?"
