I finally got around to scanning a book chapter that @drduane.bsky.social and I wrote in 2022 because I reread it recently and thought, hey, that was pretty good! 😅 Here for your reading pleasure, Thirteen Ways of Looking at Trauma (in NCTE Special Issues): drive.google.com/file/d/1jEuF...

Not that we all feel great regardless, but just a reminder that it's normal to feel sad, agitated, off, etc on trauma anniversaries. This week marks a collective trauma anniversary of the onset of COVID in the US. Give yourself permission to slow down and feel. Take good care of one another.

Right now there is clear, overwhelming opposition to Mahmoud Khalil’s abduction across the moderate, liberal, progressive & left spectrum. This kind of loud unity is what authoritarians are afraid of. To keep it up we need every institution & public leader to join the chorus.

Hey fam, here's a letter that goes with our op-ed to University leadership to show support for race conscious, accessible, and inclusive education. Even when we expect the least from these institutions, we can demand more. Hope this helps to practice hope today! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Once I accepted this framing — that I am being trained to accept the disposability of my fellow humans & the Earth (so many things qualify: Gaza, prisons, homelessness, pipelines), I became so much clearer about my politics.

So the Department of Education opened up its anti-DEI portal so people can narc on educators. It would be a shame if it got flooded with inaccurate reports, wouldn't it? enddei.ed.gov #WritingCommunity #buildtheresistance #EduSky

Anna Julia Cooper was an author, educator, sociologist, speaker, Black liberation activist, Black feminist leader, and one of the most prominent scholars in United States history. She was born enslaved, and yet became the fourth Black woman to ever earn a PhD. #BlackHistoryMonth

Really loving this app and how it feels like when the other app first came out. Did anyone else tweet by texting 404-04 back in those days? Just realized I still have that number saved in my phone 😂

My university is providing really helpful guidance on how faculty can help navigate new executive orders. Curious to hear from others— how have your institutions handling this? Ex: We are being told to help students *remove* any written documentation of immigration status. 1/

Now more than ever we need to implore educators (and everyone) to use assets frames. Asset frames = start with strengths *alongside* challenges. Deficit frames = only name deficiencies.
011
Dr. Duane @drduane.bsky.social · 31/01/2025
When teaching abt deficit frames I always tell the story of a teacher who once told me “he has no strengths, he’s a lost cause”. It’s far too common to frame kids (and their families) as lacking & deficient. It takes a lot a lot a lot of practice to disrupt those thoughts—and actions. But we must.
020
Dr. Duane @drduane.bsky.social · 31/01/2025
Today in class my students deconstructed deficit frames. It’s the lesson I start with every semester because it’s just so critical to all the work we’ll do together but this semester it felt both heavier and even more important.

I love seeing so many new artists joining Bluesky, but please make your art more accessible by adding alt text to your images. A lot of people use screen readers or otherwise depend on alt text. Many won't repost w/o it. All you need to do is include a brief description about what the image is.

Reminder: If you are committed to justice-centered work, today would be a good day to reevaluate your circles. Who inspires you to become a better version of yourself? Who do you need to collect for a critical conversation in loving accountability? Who do you need to let go in 2025?

Hi! My name is Addison & I’m a former elementary teacher and current assistant professor in NorCal. I partner with kids and educators to disrupt trauma in schools. This means digging into structural racism, implementing equity centered trauma-informed edu, and *some* SEL 😉 Tell me about you!

Today I had someone suggest to me that the police should get SEL training/classes to help them get more empathy. And the comment was made in celebration. Like, what a cool idea! The police! SEL! Empathy! My reply: we have DIAMETRICALLY opposing views on the police *and* SEL.
