Looking forward to tonight's America's Town Hall from the @constitutionctr.bsky.social. I'm sure I'll be picking up a copy of Dana Bash's book, America's Deadliest Election, this weekend when I visit our local bookstore. #NCCed #EduSky constitutioncenter.org/calendar/dan...

Happy 313 Day to all who celebrate!

I’m intrigued by this prospect, but wouldn’t want to run against my friends.

After marrying in 1958, childhood sweethearts Mildred and Richard Loving were arrested for violating Virginia's ban on interracial marriage.

Interesting results from #troyapgov on today’s #OTWV. I’m interested to see results from around the country on this question. @kboland.bsky.social @sharihillsconditt.bsky.social

#NCCed We made it through January (barely)! Time to fill out your monthly NCC TAC reporting form docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Introducing #troyapgov to @civics101pod.bsky.social today. Shout out to @capodice.bsky.social and @hannahrcmc.bsky.social

Started off my new semester classes of #troyapgov with some classic #OTWV questions.

I was shocked and appalled today when I referenced Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby today in class (Peak early 2000s cinema) and virtually none of my students had seen this masterpiece. With only 98 days to cover the entire AP Gov curriculum, we’ve go to go fast.

Here is the 2025 C-SOAN Summer Teacher Fellowship application. I cannot recommend this experience enough. You get to work on interesting projects with the C-SPAN Education Team and outstanding teachers from around the country. #EduSky docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Thinking of making my final exams worth 11% as a tribute to Spinal Tap. It's a very inside joke, but I think it's funny. #EduSky

Had to make an impromptu stop at my wife’s school this afternoon, but it ended with a stop at one of my favorite dinner spots.

I was honestly surprised by this result for #OTWV. #EduSky

My 8th grader had a profile of Jefferson for homework and asked for help. Right in my wheelhouse. #EduSky

Ready to watch our beloved @thepistons.bsky.social get their first dub of 2025. #DetroitBasketball #DoWork

Not the official Detroit Sandwich Week spot, but it’s one of our favorites and is close to our church. We’ve been coming to Royale with Cheese since they opened.

@jamesmartinsj.bsky.social Happy Birthday!

Had a great lunch at Mitsos in Eastern Market. Glad my family wanted to participate in Detroit Sandwich Week this year.

Looking forward to hitting 2 or 3 of these spots. Such a cool idea and a great way to support local businesses. Check out this article from Detroit Free Press: Detroit Sandwich Week starts Thursday: What to know www.freep.com/story/entert...

I’m in complete agreement with this take. I frequently tell my students that people with strong interpersonal communication skills will be the most employable in the next few years. This usually after I remind them that phones shouldn’t be out.

One of the very best Summer professional development opportunities for teachers constitutioncenter.org/education/pr...

Talked about the big sort today in AP Gov as part of our lesson on political ideology and political culture, so I made it part of our On Tuesday We Vote question. #OTWV @sharihillsconditt.bsky.social @kboland.bsky.social @thekevinmcline.bsky.social

A little family time in the D. The Mrs. liked her Christmas present so much she wore it immediately. Walked from Midtown to Campus Martius Park.

My students were not fans of state mandated displays of the Ten Commandments #OnTuesdayWeVote #OTWV #EduSky @kboland.bsky.social @sharihillsconditt.bsky.social @thekevinmcline.bsky.social

Seriously considering entering the transfer portal. That exists for teachers, right? #EduSky

New chant idea: JA-RED GOFF! MVP! JA-RED GOFF! MVP!

The fact that I’ve spent my Friday afternoon and evening trying to finish my final grad school paper of the semester shows how hard I can party. I have about a 1-2 pages to write and the bibliography left, they can wait until tomorrow morning. #EduSky

Looking forward to seeing my brilliant friends and colleagues at tonight’s @constitutionctr.bsky.social Teacher Advisory Council Meeting. #NCCed

NCC Teacher Advisory Council members - It's the end of the month so it's time for your TAC reporting form. Here's the form docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... #NCCed

Teacher friends and fans of the United States Constitution should all take a moment and follow @constitutionctr.bsky.social #EduSky

Outstanding! Hoping for a big day from Sonic and Knuckles. #OnePride

In case you're not the "grateful type," as a spiritual director of mine used to say. "A Thanksgiving Prayer for Nearly Everyone." From 2017. www.americamagazine.org/faith/2017/1...

Trying to finish a rough draft of a grad school paper that is due tonight. I have about 1-2 pages left to write, but I’m running on fumes. Words of encouragement or good natured heckling for motivation are welcome. #EduSky

Had an incredible classroom exchange between my AP Comparative Government class and the A-Level students from Long Road Sixth Form College in Cambridge, England. Yes, my class has students dressed as a chicken and a shark. Long story. #EduSky

I’ve wanted to use the second verse of 99 Problems in my 4th Amendment lesson for years. In 2024, it finally happened. #EduSky

Social Studies friends, join me in voting for David Kendrick for NCSS Vice President. David is an outstanding educator and advocate for Social Studies. #EduSky

Two #OTWV questions today for #troyapgov. Lots of Free Speech support and Pumpkin Pie was the big Thanksgiving dessert winner.
