Elevating voices with a writing project modeled after "The American Teenager Project." WOW, I loved reading which questions they chose and their colorful memories from their childhoods. #edusky #MLLS

Fantastic podcast, touching on the learning something that we don't think we can learn: taking the emotion out; repeating with clear input and zero judgment; slowly moving on until you get through the steps. (the role of behaviorism) open.spotify.com/episode/2BBK... #edusky

If you are in Chicago, try Rica Arepa in Lakeview! Support local Latino restaurants as their business has slowed down due to fears of ICE. Trump wants to revoke TPS for Venezuelans, but immigrants make our city a better place🇻🇪🇲🇽🇬🇹

Ooooh, excited to start this class on Motivation in the Classroom. Here is one of our books: hoping it is as informative as it sounds!

What breaks my heart this week? Former students, loving young moms, asking me to sign papers saying that I could take care of their baby and help them reunite if they get deported. 💔 I hate that this is real.

This was a fun, feel-good activity that didn't take a lot of effort, but made me smile: underground spirit week for teachers. Monochrome Monday, Socks/Slides Tues, Jersey Wed, Work from Home (fancy on top, casual bottoms) Thurs, & today was Everything But a Cup. 😊 www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2D2F3y6/

The Gross National Happiness Index from Bhutan includes psychological well-being, cultural diversity, ecological resilience, and education. It includes our EXPERIENCES, to measure the progress of a nation. So fascinating to not only gauge progress based on money.

I am so worried about my students. La Migra was spotted around our area today, and families are rightfully terrified. It is heart-breaking and I feel powerless. Schools are safe, right? Schools have to be safe. @aclu.org #ELsky #edusky

Teachers report higher burnout rates when using online platforms like #Canvas or #Schoology. A study of 779 teachers explores how the adoption of new tech tools without removing old requirements strains educators. buff.ly/4h6hjKQ #edusky #teacherburnout #k-12

Technology is supposed to decrease teacher burnout – but we found it can sometimes make it worse
Efforts to simplify teachers’ jobs through technology can backfire without a strong focus on teacher well-being.

A fun day during our rainy winter break: the Garfield Park Conservatory, where my grandpa was a gardener for 40+ years, and TacoSur in Little Village. 😍

Interesting to read the cited article - journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... - which is builds on one of my favourite articles (Yosso, 2005) that sets out those six "wealths" and gave me such a lot to think about in terms of minoritised groups as sources of expertise rather than just needing help.

How do you include your students' voices in class? My EL sts just presented their favorite holidays (in Eng) to students in Spanish classes. They were nervous but SO PROUD to talk about their favorite memories, foods, traditions. My new student from Palestine: "Can we do this every week?" #edusky
