This is absolutely correct AND teachers are bombarded with the message that if a parent's child does not like school or finds it boring, it's a problem for the teacher to fix. It so often seems that the real challenge at hand is convincing parents their child is a child; nothing more, nothing less.
I say this extremely seriously: one of the main skills children have to learn to be adults is to do things they *don't* find interesting. This is both because many necessary things in life are boring and because sometimes interesting things take time and effort first.
I left this uncommon thought about how we might respond to book bans and other nefarious mandates on Insta this morning (limits here prevent a direct upload). www.instagram.com/share/reel/B...

Ohio friends! Are you here? I hope you'll join me and @mandyrobek.bsky.social in @frankisibberson.bsky.social 's beautiful new creative space this fall and again in the spring. This invitation is making my heart so happy!
One of my (semi) hot takes is that most AI hacking can be avoided by better learning design. The assessments & practices shared here aren’t reactionary countermeasures, they’re fantastic examples of teaching built on the 5Es of sensemaking (i.e. the principles that make human cognition unique).
teachers! excited to share a new website at this late date of Aug 15 to try to help us collectively prepare for back to school in the interpretative humanities classroom assaulted by the AI grift, so we don't have to go it alone. take a look, share, + most importantly: CONTRIBUTE against-a-i.com
Tap tap tap...this thing still on? I took the summer off from most social media, all. Looking forward to being more present here as our new school year begins. I hope everyone is hanging in there. xo
This invitation has me grinning, friends. I hope you'll join us!
I facilitate a monthly community of practice for educators committed to pedagogical documentation. We're meeting on Zoom this evening at 7pm EST. If you'd like to join us, drop me a message. I'll make sure you have the information that you need. We're a friendly bunch. We'd love to see you! Free.

I hope to see some of you this summer, all! The Human Res Pro conference will be the highlight of mine. You come, too.

Help. I need some funny, warm, and inoffensive memes that offer positive perspectives on people from different cultures. And I'm interpreting culture widely. I know this is a lot to ask. I have many smart and creative friends though, and I am...exhausted and need some help. Please and thank you!!!
This week, I updated Things I Taught Eighth Graders About Nazis to include things we might be noticing and wondering about the targeting of political opponents then...and now... You may use, adapt, and share. References included. www.canva.com/design/DAGej...

As we make calls to senators & reps, I think we also need to write to our local school boards to demand a continued commitment to DEI work. I know that will look different in different states, but here is what I sent to my daughter’s school board here in IL: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
Friends in education, @theresameikle.bsky.social is one you will want to welcome to this space! Brilliant assessment-minded educator who contributes much to my professional world.

I spent Saturday morning at an incredibly well attended meeting of Good Neighbors Getting it Done in Western New York, a local affiliate of Trouble Nation and @indivisible.org They're dedicated to defending democracy and elevating the voices of the most vulnerable members of our community. #resist
Work kept me from marching this afternoon, but our lawn sign arrived, and I will be carrying others again soon. #50501protest #resist (Alt text added to the image--is there an advantage to putting it in the post directly, all?)
I'm running for town council in a fairly red community and have been heartened by the number of my neighbors who just want to be good neighbors.
Learning, writing, and work is good distraction and salve right now. I am dedicating every one of my Sunday newsletters in March to unpacking the process I use to improve learning outcomes and performance in K-12 ELA/English classrooms. The first dropped a few minutes ago. mailchi.mp/4ec2ff3a533d...

This week's update to Things I Taught 8th Graders About Nazis focuses on the consolidation of power and the frightening similarities between Trump's new Ensuring Accountability for All Agencies Executive Order and the Enabling Act, which secured Hitler's dictatorship.

Nawal's scholarship and savvy are making me think differently and better about how NYS schools might design and bring their Portraits of Graduates to life in our schools. I've learned much through my partnership with pilot schools this year. More to come. Let's follow Nawal's lead, friends.
I’m so proud of the work I do alongside LA + OC educators, school leaders and families. TY to the Cotsen Foundation for ongoing partnership and dedication to the art of teaching, especially in family engagement. Launched another series of PL sessions before moving into labsites next.
My husband is a federal worker. Facts are useful things, data matter, and yes, he did submit his five bullet points today. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
Column | Are federal workers lazy? Let’s look at the data.
As Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service targets federal workers, we investigate how hard those folks have been working for their government paychecks.

It’s horrifying how on point this is. Worth a read if you can handle staring a little harder into the abyss that is our current culture.
Been thinking about this for more than a year; finally put it into words here. Kinda drawing together threads around Josh Kline, Skibidi Toilet, Lasagna Cat, M3gan, Pepe the Frog, 'Brave New World,' Ghostbusters, $TrumpCoin into some kind of theory... news.artnet.com/art-world-ar...
Okay #BookSky 📚 I desperately need your help! I am currently reading the astounding DeepCuts (out Tuesday) and I (connected to that) I am trying to find a romance with a fake wedding date trope, where the groom has been co-writing songs with the fmc, without giving her credit. Help.
“Is Literacy Everything Now? If so, Then What Is Literacy?” is just 2 days away on Tues 2/25 5:00-6pm PT/ 8-9pm ET! We hope you will add your voice to the conversation! #literacies
