Found this picture yesterday and thought it appropriate to share today. The man on the far right is my grandpa escorting the first Black student to integrate Stafford County Public Schools in September 1961. 💕 Guess you could say caring about civil rights is in my blood?

@RBaxterTweets @we3churchgirls Such a fabulous podcast that completed reframed the way I think about grades and grading.

@we3churchgirls This podcast by Joe Feldman does a great job of explaining shifts that can support grades that are more accurate representations of what students know and can do! And how to make grading motivational and bias-resistant. It really helped shift my thinking! gse.harvard.edu/news/19/12/har…

@we3churchgirls I feel like this is a perfect example of the power of the “incomplete”! Don’t put a 0. Don’t put a 50. Put an “I” until they show you what they do or do not know.

@we3churchgirls @stella_pekarsky I wonder how colleges might benefit from allowing students to have unlimited retakes. If a student shows mastery, it feels like it shouldn’t matter when that mastery occurs, so long as it eventually happens.

TL;DR Governor Youngkin would rather score points "defeating the nonexistent epidemic of teaching Critical Race Theory" than to teach Virginia students accurately and improve the test scores he complains about time and time again.

Did you know that Harvard has free Resume, CV and Cover Letter resources - including action verbs, templates and samples? I've compiled a list of them -

I’m so excited to share that starting October 3rd, I will be the new Assistant Principal at Brookfield Elementary! This feels like coming home - both to elementary where I started my career and to Brookfield where I first became a coach!

@katie_eustis @heymsreeder Impossible! I always love your slides 😉

There's a difference between learning how to do a writing assignment and learning how to write.

@tarapaigehewan @usedgov Congratulations!!!!!!! 🎉🎊

Did You Know? Before Uber or Lyft, SNCC developed a system of shared rides for organizers in the South called the Sojourner Motor Fleet.

#Ramadan starts tomorrow, so I wanted to share a mini guide for coworkers of Muslims ✨ — inspired by GitLab's value of doing the smallest thing possible, here's a twitter 🧵
