We all witnessed the events at Minneapolis' Roosevelt High School. This is at the heart of our work. Our ED Adam Strom in @the74.bsky.social :New research shows 70% of principals report students from immigrant families expressing fear, 64% report students missing school.

Start the year by teaching migration with depth, empathy, and care. This reflection tool helps educators rethink how migration stories are represented in the classroom. A meaningful way to start the year. reimaginingmigration.org/resource-ite...

When schools become sites of fear instead of belonging, we all must ask: what will we do to keep students safe? Our ED Adam Strom spoke to The 74 about the national implications of this week's events in Minneapolis. www.the74million.org/article/minn...

Our Executive Director, @afstrom.bsky.social reflects on how his great-grandparents' 1913 immigration journey would be nearly impossible in today's system. Read his reflection here. www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-m...

What is the purpose of civic education if we fail to address basic (and timely) constitutional questions in our classrooms?

When a student asked if the Constitution protects immigrants, it revealed how essential civics education is. Democracy demands we tackle these questions with courage, not silence. Our students deserve nothing less. sharemylesson.com/blog/why-civ... #EduSky #Civics

What constitutional protections extend to non-citizens? This lesson available on @sharemylesson.bsky.social guides students through landmark Supreme Court cases to develop informed perspectives on this foundational civic question. #CivicsEducation #EduSky sharemylesson.com/teaching-res...

Feeling a bit overwhelmed? This webinar, organized by our partners @woventeaching.bsky.social will provide new fresh ideas for teaching #civics. We will share some empowering examples of immigrant students standing up for pluralism and belonging #Edusky ##sschat

We are talking about this with educators in Revere, Massachusetts this afternoon, but we thought we'd invite y'all to share your thoughts as well. #sschat #EduSky
