I don't understand why he doesn't call people demeaning names and whine about being mistreated

Excited that we get this opportunity to share with educators in my home state!

Powerful analysis and powerful interpretations by students. @MsThankappan sets the stage and steps aside for the scholars to do the lift- a well orchestrated play!! @WitWisdomELA @SonjaSantelises @mcglynn3 @CurriculumMatrs @LizManolis @rachelmstack @AshleyPCook24
On the #KnowledgeMatters tour of @BaltCitySchools, 8th Gr tchr @MsThankappan guides a text-specific analysis of the poem, “In Flanders Field,” as students build knowledge of WWI.
Way to go, Devin!

When a principal quotes examples from different grade levels- my heart wants to explode! This @WitWisdomELA curriculum belongs to the ENTIRE district! Principal Crandall exemplifies a lead learner! @BaltCitySchools @CurriculumMatrs @drjsguthrie @literacypodcast @SonjaSantelises
We loved the insights and ideas shared by @BaltCitySchools principal Benjamin Crandall on the #KnowledgeMatters Tour who speaks here about encouraging teachers to “scaffold up to what’s in the curriculum.”

1/2 Humbled to be the first poet to perform at the Super Bowl! I'm so excited to place poetry at the forefront of the most watched U.S. television broadcast, & to honor 3 heroes of the coronavirus pandemic. Can’t wait for the world to hear their stories! variety.com/2021/tv/news/ama…

Catch a recording of this thought-provoking conversation:

We must ask ourselves, "is it equity towards excellence, or equity towards mediocrity (proficiency)?" Such a thoughtful and relevant educational provocation from @AlfredTatum during tonight's @CurriculumMatrs webinar with @nakiahardy

At 22, @TheAmandaGorman will become the youngest known inaugural poet when she performs at #Inauguration2021.
Wednesday on @CBSThisMorning, @AnthonyMasonCBS spoke with her about writing a poem for this moment and how she prepares for big performances.
Silver lining after a heartbreaking and disappointing series of events on our Democracy.
While today’s terrible display of terror and meanness shakes us, let’s remember: @ossoff, Jewish son of an immigrant & @ReverendWarnock, first Black Senator from Georgia, will join a Catholic POTUS & the first woman, Black + Indian VP in our nation’s capital. God bless America.

Parents (and teachers). Looking for some concrete ways to tell if children are being taught to read based on scientific evidence? And help w/ questions to ask if they're not. Check this out: improvingliteracy.org/brief/…
