I too remember the earlier, woke wars. tons of spent microaggression munitions strewn about everywhere, friends crying out for God as they were slowly cancelled...look, if you weren't there, you'll never understand

There’s so much to love in this thread.

As always, here's @marcusluther.bsky.social with a truly excellent piece on @edutopia.org! In education, we talk about the time about teachers modeling learning and behavioral habits for kids. Marcus applies that same idea here to our AI use. www.edutopia.org/article/teac...

And have to share two @edutopia.org posts in a row because this one from @mrrablin.bsky.social is SO cool! I have never seen this seating-arrangement strategy before. www.edutopia.org/article/clas...

If you truly believe we're in a parallel to the industrial revolution you aren't going to live to see its benefits without fighting. You will be a victim of its horrors and, maybe, once people finally fight back, as happened last time, will people start to see their standards improve.

Opens with a pro-AI classic: You're a scaredy cat! I'll give you something to be scared about! "other countries are executing on national infrastructure projects for the AI era and treating it as an economic imperative...Risks are inherent with any major shift in how we learn, work, and live"

Next yr I’ll be teaching a HS “math elective” class for kids who need to make up math credits. I can teach anything as long as it’s connected to the CCSS. Has anyone built a course like this? Any ideas of what would be most engaging for kids? Resources to pull from? I will have a wide range of kids…

Again minus Steph Curry and Kristaps Porzingis, the Golden State Warriors found a 10-man lineup that added up to a surprising victory over the Rockets in Houston.

Good morning teachers. It is only March. Drink water. Eat real food. If you can, lock your door for 15 minutes at lunch to breathe, stretch, nap, whatevs. Don't forget the healing power of 5 minutes of fresh air. We still have many rivers to cross. Let love be our foundation.

Watching Hegseth strut and spout it becomes increasingly easy to understand how he was targeted for RIF as an O–4. He clearly just doesn't have the stuff to be a military leader. bsky.app/profile/prof...

There has never been an official, comprehensive record of Black-owned bookstores across the United States — until now

my first five star book of the year is OUT NOW!!!! I'm so excited for the other cradle catholics who struggled with being "different" to get a hold of this one!!! #booksky #darkfantasy #queerrep

Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.

some resources for cognitive scientists — especially for junior scholars who ask me wonderful questions and want to learn more — on theorising and metatheorising olivia.science/theory/ (not 100% finished & more to come, but all my work is freely available here: olivia.science#publications as usual)

Is your country ruled by an aging megalomaniac whose supporters worship him with an almost cult-like zeal? Has your leader eroded trust in elections by attempting to bring them under his direct control and/or stoking false claims of voter fraud?

While checking out the Smarter Balanced testing resources (been thinking about testing lately), this problem was on the practice test. What even is this and who thought this would work to assess math understanding?

For ppl who aren't aware: Old temperate forests are insanely rare nowadays and extremely important ecosystems lost forever once cut. They're not just "old trees" but intricate networks of trees, fungi and all kinds of living creatures. You CANNOT replant this!! Once it's gone it's lost FOREVER!!!

just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production. you have until March 23rd to comment. i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.

Our district mandates 3 interim assessments per year. They are advertised as predictive of state testing and an accurate assessment of student math levels from 1st to 12th grade. The test is supposed to take 20 minutes. 🤔

This Tuesday, some will briefly see the sun rising and the totally-eclipsed moon setting on opposite horizons. That’s what the word selenelion means.
Given the sun, Earth and moon will be at syzygy — or in a straight line — the moon and sun will be exactly 180 degrees apart wapo.st/4u3iJgo

OAN, I've been following conversations about "what happened to Black US R&B since the 1990s" and my thesis is: 1) Black church decline & rise of megachurches 2) Clear Channel consolidation, predating social Web & social media 3) US defunding music in schools 4) Stan culture ramping up in the 2000s

New, from me: Why is American attacking Iran? It helps to have a coherent reason, to justify to the US public the costs in money and blood, to allies about the potential long-term risks, and to Iranians about the future of their country. Lets take a look 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-reason...

Charlie Kirk’s face is on the Department of Education building for some reason (via Raquel Martin)

Assaultive behavior by protesters is not tolerated. Fair, legal. However, assaultive behavior by ICE is supported. Unfair, unlawful. Most residents already felt underserved and unprotected by the sheriffs. More do now. When ICE truly retreats, the damage has been done. Credibility is gone.

Technically I'm a techer who has been engaging in infidelity for over a quarter century. 🤣

One of the most insane things about ed-reform is that a very small collection of people are able to be wrong again and again and again with zero repercussions. In fact, every failure is a chance for them to come up with a new solution and write/sell a book about it.

His definition of a reimagined school sounds like the kind of schooling people who organized against the reforms he advocated for tried to tell him we should do, except this time it’s his call so it’s right? Maybe he should just issue an apology and let people do their thing?

Math common core writers had the right ideas: limiting the scope to the most critical ideas and giving equal weight to procedural mastery, conceptual understanding, and ability to apply math to solve problems.

Excellent example of the kind of deep and knowledgeable analysis you don't get from the "fast news" cycle of social media. Expert analysis is worth waiting (and paying) for.

These are great questions for students to be asking as they approach a challenging math question.

In a conversation between June Jordan and Angela Y. Davis, published in 1990, Jordan said she was concerned about how much despair there is cuz people often take it out on themselves. She said she wanted a return to rage, where it’s taken out on the system.

Procedural liberalism on display. We support the murder of innocents, the immoral and demonic violence, but the President didn't fill out the right paperwork. The same logic that calls for higher police training budgets and more diversity among prison guards. Polishing the bars of the cage.

If you're frustrated by classroom conversations where students just repeat what the students before them said, consider this psychology-based reason. robertkaplinsky.com/psychol...

One of the biggest "tricks" in algebra is "slide and divide." I honestly didn't understand why it worked until around 20 years after algebra class. Here's why it works.
