I am a member of the ITA. I support unions when they work for the betterment of workers and the world. I also support Ithaca's Re-Imagining Public Safety Plan. There is a time to stand in solidarity with unions and a time to stand in solidarity with justice.

Love this curricular idea building from the interests of children with an authentic audience. My kids advocated for and were awarded a Kids Day; we celebrate the day after school gets out!

Nicole LaFave is a truly inspirational leader who asks great questions and knows how to move beyond those questions to getting the work done. If I lived in her district she would have my vote.

The kind of project that I can't wait to see AND I can't wait to discuss and build from with my classes of future teachers! Exciting!

Tomorrow is #CortlandChallenge, a 24 hour opportunity to raise funds for SUNY Cortland. Please consider donating to my program which offers scholarships to students from groups underrepresented in teaching. These future teachers bring it every day! Link coming tomorrow!

Can't think of a better start to a resource connecting scholars to their work, than hearing the story of Erica N. Walker and the rich history of her work.

As a new teacher, I often got caught in a cycle of taking behavior personally and reacting in a way that the kids took personally and then not understanding their reaction. This lesson is hard to learn but critical - for teachers at all stages.

How are we preparing teachers to do this? I know this is not how I was prepared to teach so I have dedicated myself to learning how to take this approach to teacher education. It's hard work, but it can be done and we see how from Cultivating Genius among others.

There are so few ways to help future educators imagine a kind of teaching they have not seen or experienced, and I wonder if remixing stories and playing within and without constraints are a way toward that imagined future teaching.
