We’re both #deafblind & I’m following @CatarinaRivera on the dance floor. The blind leading the blind feels fabulous! Associating blindness with ignorance makes it harder for blind people to get jobs, promotions & respect. Avoid using “blind” as a synonym for ignorant. Transcript

iCinco de Mayo! As a California-born Mex-Am I've noticed a lot of educators moving to undo the myth that 5/5 is Mexican Independence day (yay!) but also to underplay it as not a 'real' holiday (??). It is a real holiday we can teach - to celebrate solidarity. 1/10

"Those who can afford to not work during student teaching are more likely to gain licensure solely because of their socioeconomic status. Additionally, aspiring educators of color are disproportionately affected by unpaid student teaching" #teacherprep #teachereducation #teachers
Illinois Education Association@ieanea28 Mar 2023
Aspiring educators should not have to live in financial deficit just to gain licensure. We must invest in livable stipends for student teaching & support the next generation of educators, especially educators of color. Shout out to Elizabeth Horvat! nea.org/professional-excelle…

Thanks for the call to interrogate my own work and look at how I can "unapologetically teach the truth" in this time.
