This whole thread is worth a read... As an educator, it's also important to remember "If a parent has ADHD, a child has more than a 50% chance of having it." It's important to keep that in mind when talking to the adults of our kids and thinking of how to support families.

Our final department meeting of the year gave us a chance to laugh and learn! Mr. Bramble demonstrated the Berlitz method as we think about ways to increase opportunities for EML students to immerse in using content-specific language and practice their speaking.

The importance of people in your children’s lives who pour into all aspects of them cannot be understated… What @BONDEducators does for young men in @MCPS is special. It’s no coincidence that when my son shares who he looks up to, several of these educators are on that list. ❤️

Black children in the US know their actions have consequences from the moment they can comprehend. They are aware of how their bodies and voices are surveilled and policed from early childhood. You’re not teaching consequences to Black children. You’re just being a racist.

Time teaches us life, while life teaches us the value of time.

Students are making their own sounds in American History Through Film! After discussing how the horror genre is being used to specifically address American racism and taking a close look at the 1950s, students are creating what they think the actual sounds of the 1950s should be.

Seeking asylum is a human right. This is a disastrous order by the Supreme Court. Title 42 is a cruel policy that was implemented using public health as an excuse. This extension of the policy until next June will put more asylum seekers in harm’s way.

At it again for the Social Studies Food Tour. Honestly, I didn’t think about how much joy a monthly gathering as a department brings, but now we hold them even when it’s not a heritage celebration! ❤️

This months department meeting was all about what’s next after examining our data. I’m grateful to be part of such a dedicated group of professionals. We can’t do everything, but together we can do something.

On this Giving Tuesday, consider supporting an organization whose mission is equity in STEM and CTE…

I am praying for the families of #LavelDavisJr, #DSeanPerry, #DevinChandler, and for the #UVA community. The descending spiral of #violence is impacting the #NextGen more than any other demographic. We cannot live with #GunViolence.

Sometimes I wonder what direction my life would have gone in if I worked in Criminal Justice reform; however, Maryland’s response to Question 4 also has to be met with a reckoning about how we have criminalized young Black men in this state at rates higher than the rest of the US
