I feel gross thinking students used AI because it reminds me of Stand and Deliver when the state didn’t think those students could succeed. I also think we’ve lost the point.We have to uphold academic integrity but we also have to get it right and frame it-“I don’t care about AI-I care about you.”

I miss when bacon was exciting

I want to see Bojack’s take on the entertainment media’s landscape of the past few years

@jamesgunn.bsky.social I want a James Gunn hosted Music podcast where he interviews other filmmakers on their soundtracks. Would love a James Gunn - Wes Anderson (or whoever) conversation about the Kinks or Foxy Shazam

"When teachers enter practice settings where they can fulfill their role in a way that is consistent with their image of 'being a teacher', they probably experience a great deal of satisfaction"-Piantanida, 2019. To what weight should this truth be given? I feel like there is a lot to unpack here.

what are some ways you've seen early wins and success planned for?

Yes’cers!!!!

We have people boldly saying the most vile things all over this country, and in this administration. We have had poison spewed about trans people, childfree women, immigrants. "They're eating the dogs. They're eating the cats!" But an op-ed in a *college newspaper* was a bridge too far for them?!

we mistake pendulum swings as progress

Intervention in language is not about fixing a kid. It IS about fixing a system that didn't provide access in the first place. Did the student receive instruction in a way they could understand, process, and use in Tier-1 instruction?

I want people who are deeply anchored, endlessly kind, and never in a hurry. I want to be that person.

SNL 50 and the Doomsday reveal are the same. I don’t need to explain myself

I just finished a Master Schedule for a summer school. This is the first time I have ever done a master schedule and I understand so much more

bsky.app/profile/did:... your weekly reminder of this great feed composed of nearly 300 ELL educators. If u think u should b on it, check to see if u already r. If not, let me know and I’ll add u

I'm taking a class on project management & something I'm realizing is how poorly I spoke in interviews about my work in building systems when interviewing. I did the work of project management without ever thinking of it as project management, so when it came to interviews,

It was such a wonderful way to the Saturday! It was great to meet you in person!

Thank you so much to all teachers at TexTESOLIV who purchased a copy of my book today!! 🙏🏽 #PD4uAndMe #IfUonlyKnewBook #BookSky

@emilyfrancis.bsky.social Thank you! It was wonderful learning this morning

It feels like-sometimes- crisis is used to justify prioritizing compliance over conceptualization which leads to poor results and crisis which justifies compliance… We can’t forget how important the stories we tell and hear are because those are the stories our students see and hear #elsky #edusky

The framing that Ukraine is the unreasonable party is wild when they were damn country that was invaded. They didn't ask for any of this- The purpose of the national and global "right-wing" movements is to subjugate- their belief that power and influence only come from dominion over others

Holy cow this second edition is beefy! Can’t wait to dig into the rapid literacy section @drcarolsalva.bsky.social

Every shot of this show could be a @criterion.bsky.social cover #severance

Can't wait to see and hear from you and Dr. ET!

Apple Maps and the Golf of Gulferica

I actually hate the "lol the giant asteroid will deliver us from this suffering" jokes. Are there any other people in the progressive movement who think that humans are actually fucking amazing?

Wow! A Free-To-Use & Impressive Curriculum For SIFE (Students With Interrupted Formal Education) Students larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/2025/02/06/w...

Good morning, my people. As I'm sitting here lesson planning for graduate students, I'm reminded how educators have a role in building the societies we wish to see. I don't take that responsibility lightly. We need to build it lesson by lesson, too. Let's get into it.

Posting this gofundme for a student I knew last year. Anything helps www.gofundme.com/f/zexwm-shir... #elsky #edusky

Have you ever looked back on photos or videos of teaching or former students and remember you do good work?

Protest in Houston today against deportations

Reading one of the small choices I can make to build my capacity for empathy, understanding, and critical thinking. Reading is an act of resistance

One thing I’m learning is that with all the WW2 and Nazi documentaries a generation of dads watched, we really needed better documentarians

Breaking news: The Trump administration seeks to give immigration officers access to restricted information about migrant children and teens who crossed into the United States without parents, says White House border czar Tom Homan.

It’s gonna have to be mass protests, folks.

If you are an educator, check out the the programs under the Dept. of ED such as the English Language Acquisition State Grants. There's confusion around the rescinding of the memo but with federal workers now Schedule F, who will advocate for these programs?

It’s wild how we look at data & learning loss. It’s not lost if there was never access-learning was never had. S can’t be behind themselves. This DOES tell us about our systems’ capacity to meet the cognitive, affective, & linguistic needs of all students and leveraging the assets of the students

This time requires bravery and backbone and instead there is an epidemic of fecklessness among those elected to represent us

useless

Let’s be clear about education in America today. There are kids who today woke up scared to go to school. There are parents who are afraid. There are teachers, staff, & administrators who are equally concerned. Fear has been instilled. Learning in fear is nearly impossible.

It does not appear that federal K-12 funds for this school year will be affected by the funding freeze. Why? The money is already in hand. Report here: www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...

Title III, which provides funding to states for English Learner programs is a federal grant as part of the ESEA and ESSA #edusky #ELsky

My fiancée told me not to worry and let my inner Kevin James out because I asked not to be seen nor heard during chicken wings

Psyched!

“Approximately 10,000 refugees who were scheduled to fly to the US have had their flights canceled and no new bookings will be made, a State Department memo says. The memo also says that case processing is suspended, effectively shutting the program.” www.wishtv.com/news/refugee...

The Americans of all nations at any time upon the earth have probably the fullest poetical nature. The United States themselves are essentially the greatest poem. In the history of the earth hitherto the largest and most stirring appear tame and orderly to their ampler largeness and stir.

I didn’t think of humor but it’ll be so important to keep cool
