New neighbor. I shall call her Owlanis Morissette.

This Teacher Appreciation Week, stand alongside educators across the country who are demanding better. #theedcollab #teacherappreciationweek

A class at my kids’ school put up little statements about the good they want to do in the world and I was over the moon about this one - then I learned they meant to say “teach people in jail” which is also good!

Every district in the country needs this kind of traning ----- Rutgers University is teaching Newark specialists how to distinguish a language barrier from a disability www.chalkbeat.org/newark/2026/...

There’s no teaching strategy good enough to fix weak instructional design and materials. Turn and talks won’t save us from poorly written and poorly aligned curriculum. #EduSky

@theedcollab.bsky.social ‘s #SpringGathering2026 is filled with hope but did not come to play.

@theedcollab.bsky.social ‘s Spring Gathering is less than one week away. I’m presenting with my fierce colleague in this work Rosa Alvarez!

This day is going to be 🔥🔥🔥

Online, Sat, May 2 Opening Keynote, Dr. Sawsan Jaber! @sjeducate.bsky.social She is a multi-award-winning educator, best selling author, community activist, and consultant. Her tireless fight for freedom of speech, civil rights, and equity for all serves as an invaluable example.

🎶 Differentiation and UDL aren’t the same—but they make beautiful music together! UDL designs for all learners, while differentiation fine-tunes the experience. Together, they create harmony in learning! #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #EdChat

What the Artemis II reminds us of is the power of wonder, awe, and story.

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

Loving our deep dive 🌊 on #multilingualecosytems and #translanguaging at Deeper Learning at High Tech High. Love this conference!

Yes, this is real.

Mendez v. Westminster ended the segregation of Mexican children justified by “language deficiencies.” Today, many U.S. Latinx students are still kept in separate ELD tracks for years because of their "language deficiencies." When did segregation become support? open.substack.com/pub/educatio...

👥 A #student who is velcroed to a paraprofessional all day has not been included. Exclusion can happen even when sharing the same room. LRE is a low bar. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders

#DL26 is just a few days away and I couldn't be more excited. If you are traveling to San Diego join us as we deep dive into #MultilingualEcosystems deeperlearning26.sched.com/event/2DGwe

I live in the flight path of an air force base. It’s not lost on me, the dramatic increase of jets flying above our desert sky. #NoWarInIran

ICE has detained this high schooler for 10 months. Here’s what he and his classmates want you to know www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Some critics of the Trump regime's unprovoked attack on another country are focusing only on the risks to American soldiers - i.e., those carrying out this illegal act of aggression. At such times it's worth reiterating a foundational moral axiom: A human life there is worth no less than a human […]

I remember when trying to forgive student loans was massive overreach of Presidential power.

Endless war. But never enough for schools.

This morning I returned to @intlschoolsservices where I started my international school career! I had the pleasure of facilitating a #ISSedu workshop where we explored the belonging and language.

I saw a funny video of a Spanish TV judge saying a person who speaks two languages is bilingual, a person who speaks three languages is trilingual, and a person who speaks one language is an Americano

I have no hot takes. Lots of amazing people have talked about the layers and layers of imagery, resistance, and joy from Benito Bowl. Just wanted to let it be known, I fucking loved it.

AI, TPT, corporate intervention programs, kitchen-sink-scripted curriculums, and state-approved reading lists are trying to "teacher-proof" education to protect an ugly status quo. Designing learning with love, intention, strategy and equity is one of our most powerful forms of resistance.

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota. This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats. They hate the helpers. Which is why must keep helping.

Join me in February.

Another #MLLEcosystemProject testimonial rolls in. www.bethpumaconsulting.com/mll-ecosyste...

Tan Huyhn and I are excited to share our third @Edutopia article featuring strategies for supporting experienced Multilinguals with writing. www.edutopia.org/article/writ...

I will always remember five years ago today teaching a distance leaning US History class to English Language Learner Newcomers. We were studying the Civil War and neither they or I could understand how the Confederate flag was being waved in the US Capitol

alway always always money for perpetual war. never enough for education and healthcare.

Book a session today and mention this post!

BREAKING Zohran Mamdani has been sworn-in as the 112th Mayor of New York City.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.” In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

I love @jess5th.bsky.social’s tradition of starting and ending the year with a poem. Ashley M. Jones’s “Lullaby for the Grieving” is perfect. maybe there are angels here, too—

Through consulting, coaching, and the #MLLEcosystemProject I tried to walk in my values and help others walk in theirs. Thank you to the educators across the 🌎 who trusted me to be apart of their learning journey. #multilingualecosystem #mllscando

January is the perfect time to be in community with other equity minded educators. Whether you are an educational leader designing systems aligned with your values, or an educator strengthening your instructional toolbox, we are stronger when we learn and grow in community together.

This strategy sparks joy. So simple, minimal prep. High discussion. High reasoning. www.cultofpedagogy.com/hexagonal-th...

That feeling as a coach, when you share a strategy that really sparks your coachee. You see them get excited. You see the wheels turning. You see them immediately start building/planning. It's the small wins, am I right? #instructionalcoaching #multilingualecosystem #coachingmatters
