So proud of my colleagues (and friends) for writing & releasing this book! Today I received a copy w/ a special note from them & I am incredibly grateful for their friendship & all of the years we’ve worked together.

Everyone’s out here all celebrating Valentine’s Day and all I can think about is Frederick Douglass’s birthday & the day TR lost his wife and mother.

In July 2023 I had the good fortune to attend the inaugural Civics for All of US at the National Archives. Dr. Colleen Shogan, Archivist of the US, welcomed our group & shared her love for documenting/preserving our history. I am profoundly disappointed to hear she was dismissed Friday night.

The tension I feel right now between wanting to just rest, wanting to meet up with friends, & wanting to get caught up on grading/planning during this break is real.

I had 3 different On Tuesday We Vote Questions (one for each course I teach). #OTWV @kboland.bsky.social @rwerenka.bsky.social

Hope you’ll join @kboland.bsky.social @rwerenka.bsky.social @mcmartirone.bsky.social and I in our work with On Tuesday We Vote. We’re still sharing on a few other sites but we’d love to see you engage here, too!

Finishing up finals for the college course I teach and 1 of my favorite comments by a student was that they noticed how important it was to build a PLN both at work and w/ those outside of your bldg/district. Grateful for all of those who in my network who’ve really become friends.

This week’s OnTuesdayWeVote question is straight out of the lower courts. Gotta love those 1st Amendment questions! @mcmartirone.bsky.social and I have included some additional resources on the Google form in case your students need more support. #OTWV docs.google.com/forms/d/1xrf...

Grateful for the fireworks #nbctstrong

Today’s OnTuesdayWeVote had my students looking a variety of questions- each related to content/topics we’ve been discussing in our classes. The great thing about #OTWV is that you can personalize the questions every other week. This helps students practice the democratic habit of voting.

For those of you joining us in our On Tuesday We Vote project! #OTWV @mcmartirone.bsky.social @kboland.bsky.social @rwerenka.bsky.social
