we went from meltdowns at writing time to pulling out the notebook and working on his essay without being asked because there is nothing like PBL to motivate learners

Same lesson. What you get when you care more about quantity than quality in a curriculum.

As an adult, I have "tv" work and "silent" work time. I can't effectively read or write complex texts with competing input. But simple tasks are fine. Students may have a different threshold for productivity but I imagine it varies according to the individual

Investing in paraprofessionals is investing in NYC’s public schools. These educators — mostly women of color — are the backbone of our classrooms.
@nycspeakeradams.bsky.social, you have the power to fix the para shortage and lead with the equity you’ve long championed.
Let the bill pass!

@velazquez.house.gov says @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social has united us around a simple but powerful idea: that New York City should be a city for everyone

“As Trump targets our community, we need a mayor who won’t flinch, who will stand up and defend every NYer. That is who Zohran is.”

@chiosse.bsky.social at the @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social rally:

“This election is to be part of a political revolution that continues inside and outside the halls of government… After we win this election, it’s not where the work ends- it’s where it begins.”

People don’t want to believe us when we tell them our curriculum is racist.
It is. All of it.

This is HUGE. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social stands for so much of what teachers want: fair pay, workers’ rights, affordable quality healthcare & childcare, anti-fascist, equitable policies that support our communities…and it’s starting to feel like we can actually get some of these things.

NYC teacher’s union @uftnyc.bsky.social has officially endorsed @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for the next mayor of NYC

Interesting read on classroom design & instruction.

This paragraph in particular: Education is about so much more than the systematic transmission of facts & procedures from teacher to student.
