Remember those without someone at Thanksgiving. Just let them know you are thinking of them. Might be all the difference to them.

The Decline and Fall of History youtu.be/7WXNF6Vy07A?si… via @YouTube There are many things here that remain true about the study of history and unfortunately it extends to the K-12 curriculum in far too many places today. I am glad Virginia is not one of them.


If you aren’t following the NPS, you’re missing out.

🧵1/? This is a cautionary tale. Throwing out one curriculum and swapping it in for a new one is not it. Leaders....are you listening? chalkbeat.org/newyork/2023/1…

Hot take... Redefining A-F as gradations of quality will be more effective/efficient than changing to 1-4. Changing the symbols is a low-yield effort that will likely cause unnecessary disruption. Changing how familiar symbols are defined is better. #ATAssessment #sblchat
