6 Ways to Capture Students’ Attention www.edutopia.org/article/stra...

Shaundel Washington-Spivey makes history as the first Black and the first openly gay mayor elected in La Crosse, Wisconsin #NOH8

It’s a terrifying feeling that the U.S. could be next doing this same hateful thing. #LoveWins #HateHasNoHomeHere

WIN: The Senate failed to move forward on a federal trans sports ban that would violate the safety and privacy of all girls, so the bill is dead for now. This is a victory, but let’s be clear: Our work is not done. We'll continue to defend trans youth in Congress, state houses, and the courts.

A4) Leadership can be more present for students to see how kindness can be applied. Especially if leaders are offering kindness to their teachers with students present. We can’t expect S’s to do as we say/teach if we’re not engaging in it ourselves. #BuildHOPEedu

A3) going off my 2nd response, remembering that incorporating kindness doesn’t have to take a lot of time, effort, or even technology. Teaching S’s how to appropriately and kindly respond to one another when collaborating is an option for including kindness. #BuildHOPEedu

A2)As often as I could I would encourage my class to collaborate. Allowing students 2 come 2gether 2 problem solve or create something is when I felt the best learning was occurring. I used 2 think innovation meant always trying a new tech but later learned that it can be low tech #BuildHOPEedu

A1) Kindness is free! Especially in our current climate, we need our students to remember that it’s never too difficult to be and/or do something kind. There is no act of kindness too big or too small! #BuildHOPEedu

Good evening all! I’m Erik from WI, former special ed teacher turned professional development facilitator. My favorite act of kindness is to always share my skills/expertise when it comes to a digital program that some don’t have as much familiarity with. #BuildHOPEedu

I believe!

What is with their obsession with the LGBTQ+ community, gender, and sexuality? #GenderIsntBinary

And don’t get me started on how quick they were to ban an app but still not even a minute amount of progress for making our schools safer against gun violence. #StopTheViolence #ProtectOurStudents

Wow! This country sure has f’d up priorities. They ban TikTok b/c of privacy and security concerns; however, it’s not a concern for Meta to collect the same data since they’re an American company. #StopTheViolence #ProtectOurStudents

Why do they persist in attacking the transgender community? It’s as if everything else in the world is perfectly fine and in order. 🙄

I simply cannot wrap my head around these changes that are taking place all to be liked by the 🍊

I eagerly anticipate the day when we can simply exist without the need to show excitement or be the first (LGBTQ+) to do something.

Do Florida politicians believe that there is nothing more important to focus their attention on? Their continuous attacks on the LGBTQ+ is beyond ridiculous. Their focus should be on what’s inside the house!

We need more young people taking a stand as big as Jackson! Very admirable.

Got this from Dr. Carolyn Frost on the other site and felt it needed to be shared here!

Great organization in WI doing great things for the #LGBTQ community!

Are these people forgetting their own gender-neutral bathrooms at home and on airplanes? When hate and discrimination reign supreme, safety and respect in public spaces are impossible. image from @mattxiv.bsky.social

Well isn’t this interesting!

we need to stand up and not allow hate to overcome! #LoveWins #SupportLGBTQ www.advocator.net
