@SDGE Any idea when power will be restored in south oceanside? Been out all day! Keep getting pushed ahead. Hubby Can’t sleep without a c-pap!

Listening back to a discussion I had with teachers reflecting on our Cuentos writing workshop and I’m having all the feels about the power of stories! 🥹#cuentosintheborderlands

Last night was a turning point in my Teaching Journey. My first cohort of MA students presented their research and blew me away. Then they thanked me at the end and I sobbed afterwards. I know I’m on the correct path #firstgenscholars #teachingteachers @sdsucoe

When did Twitter change to X? Eww guess I’m out now

@EileenGalvez @EriqFelix It’s the AERA deadline looming in summer when my brain just wants rest

la hueva hitting hard today

@LakotaMan1 Invaded

So, a MAGA just told me that America was “discovered.” I say it was invaded. Asking my absolutely awesome non-Native alliance — was America discovered or invaded?

Thrilled to have both incoming and former #GenerationGlobal teacher candidates from @sdsucoe working with Assistant Prof @mwritenow. Today- we engaged in a writing marathon via multiple South Bay community locations, noticing and wondering about- the places our Ss call home.

What a wonderful morning writing in community! #cuentoswritingworkshop #teacherwriters #Borderlands #testimonio

Day 1, Year 1 Cuentos writing workshop in the books! 🤩 #artistportraits #rememberpoem #joyharjo #cultivatingjoyinwriting

Preparing for the writing marathon next week at Cuentos. Mapping spaces in the borderlands. Friendship park is closed permanently this is as far as we can go. Writing prompt for this space has to be about barriers and borders and closing off friendship…loss #WritingCommmunity

@SarahJTracy Messes! I need to really read in depth before I even begin collecting data

Some folks assume that #qualitative research is always inductive & grounded—that magically, after repeated readings, the “themes emerge.” As such, they drag their feet in reviewing literature & wait until the end before wading into focused analysis. The result? 🧵

@EriqFelix 😣

I’ve experienced racism all my life, the first one when I was 3yo, but the racist incidents that happen when I’m with my kids sting so much more.

Today’s dream reading #centerlatinévoices #translanguaging #encomunidad

@mremrich1 Many do with community colleges. It’s usually called dual enrollment.

As a middle school teacher with no experience teaching AP, I can't help but wonder: Should school districts consider partnering with colleges to offer courses in high schools providing students with an opportunity to earn college credit without the added pressure of AP tests?

@schurkit @heymrsbond I read this a month ago and can’t get it out of my head

@heymrsbond Just finished. So gripping and poignant. Made me ugly cry!! Should be compulsory reading for… everyone

@DavidOBowles My hubby works in construction safety this blew his mind! Thankful we live in CA. Hydration is always part of a safety plan…human decency anyone?

One guess as to what ethnicity most of those workers are …
