- I would implore all of my @UCLA faculty colleagues to strongly consider cancelling or significantly altering final exams. Many students are struggling now, they need our support, and many are not in the best emotional space to focus on academics. Be compassionate & understanding
- Stop telling educators to practice self-care. Instead, put forth energy to eliminate the systems, structures, and practices that require educators to need so much self-care in the first place.
- Why do we ask students to show "grit" and change their behavior, yet we don't show grit with changing the circumstances around them? #equity
- bell hooks was a major influence on me as a teacher. She’ll be missed…. “As a classroom community, our capacity to generate excitement is deeply affected by our interest in one another, in hearing one another’s voices, in recognizing one another’s presence.” -bell hooks
- As schools start across the country, students deserve more joy in classrooms. Students should be able to laugh, explore,shout, sing and move. Joy is essential to healing. #joymatters #equitymatters
- We asked black students what they would like to see in curriculum that would better support them in their education and here are their answers. (thread 🧵)
- Honored to be president-elect of @AERA_EdResearch. Much appreciation for all of the support... #equitymatters #grateful #letsgettoworkAERA is pleased to announce that @TyroneCHoward, Professor of Education at @uclaseis, has been voted president-elect of AERA. Howard joins the AERA Council in 2022–2023. His presidency begins at the conclusion of the 2023 Annual Meeting.
- Now is not the time for neutrality, silence, or indifference. Let your voices be heard, make your presence known, and your stance clear. We ALL need to stand up to anti-Black racism & other forms of oppression. We are better when we collectively fight dehumanization of any group
- Pleading again to all of my faculty colleagues @UCLA & other institutions across the nation. Many students are struggling with an array of emotions. Consider cancelling finals, optional finals, or reweighing assignments. Show concern & care for our students.#educatewithcompassion
- Don't mistake parents' lack of participation for lack of care. Many face barriers that prevent them from attending school events. We asked parents and here are their responses: 🧵
- Time for teachers to stop feeling sorry for students living in poverty. Empathize, teach them, let your rigor in teaching and commitment to relationships be your response #equity
- Schools are not going to move the needle on assessments and accountability until we move the needle on relationships. #equity #relationships
