The Sold a Story podcast feed now has all four of our previous audio documentaries about reading.
We have a special treat coming this Tuesday. It's something especially for kids.

Tough pill to swallow for a lot of teachers IMO. "Every test result, every disparity, and every piece of data that you can find will be much more influenced by inequality and poverty than by what the teacher actually does at the front of the classroom." newyorker.com/news/our-colum…

Don't beat yourself up for feeling "lazy." You aren't. In fact, it's probably a sign you need to take a break — not work harder.
Here's how to reframe your thinking.

She brings a legion of firsts to the vice presidency: She will be the first woman, the first Black person, the first Indian American and the first Asian American to hold the office.

“The bottom line is that even when you control for kids’ math and reading abilities through their test scores, we find that teachers’ perceptions of their students’ non-cognitive and academic skills differ by race, ethnicity, and gender.” #edequity #education #edchat

"A great teacher can change:The climate of a classroom. A reading level. Affection for Science or Math. The tendency to think critically, ask tough questions and challenge convention. The confidence level of a student or willingness to dream."

"As coaches, we’re always going to encounter resistance, whether within ourselves or from those we coach. Even the friendliest and most willing clients will be resistant. Our goal is to be unwavering in our belief that change is possible..." bit.ly/FrRszT

New research finds that young girls and boys have "indistinguishable" math abilities — contradicting the idea that men largely dominate STEM fields because their brains are wired that way. n.pr/2Nx2eqv

Teachers, don’t expect admin alone to create a dynamic school culture. When is the last time you checked in on a colleague, especially a new teacher? Remember you’re a leader. Help create & reflect a positive & supportive culture among all the staff, including the admin too.

Lots of teachers & parents are watching that horrific video of white HS boys taunting Indigenous people at a DC event today & thinking, "That could never be OUR kids." But are we actively teaching inclusion, respect, & social justice every day? If not, we're part of this problem.

According to @davis_joy, we can close and eliminate the "gifted gap" when we begin to open the doors of gifted education and engage more families and communities in a proactive way. gadf.ly/2P83s9v
