Why American students haven't gotten better at reading in the past 20 years, by @natwexler: theatlantic.com/education/ar…
Why American Students Haven't Gotten Better at Reading in 20 Years

Why American Students Haven't Gotten Better at Reading in 20 Years

Schools usually focus on teaching comprehension skills instead of general knowledge—even though education researchers know better.

🎞️🎞️🎞️ As part of Black History Month and our Informational Writing Unit my @SFUnified 3rd graders at @SunnysideK5 used @brainpop's AWESOME Make-A-Movie feature to create movies about the 1963 Birmingham Children's March. Check out one of the movies below! 🎞️🎞️🎞️

Trump tells the people affected by natural disasters, specifically Puerto Rico, “We love you. We are with you”. Tomorrow, FEMA officially shuts-off operations in Puerto Rico. xitter.gq/erinschrode/status/958…

A third of Puerto Rico still lacks electricity. Many do not have running water. But FEMA will "officially shut off" tomorrow. THIS is the STATE OF THE UNION #SOTU—the startling, unimaginable reality here for millions of Americans over 4 months after Maria. facebook.com/102133822205643…

There have been 11 school shootings in the first 23 days of this year. One of the President’s jobs is to create policies to keep kids safe. So far, @realdonaldtrump has been silent. I’d like to hear about his plan to address this issue. nytimes.com/2018/01/23/us/ke…

When two students were killed by gunfire in Benton, Ky., Tuesday morning, it was at least the 11th shooting so far this year on school property.

I will confess that I am not very patient with educators who are bitter, cynical, or jaded. The work we do is too important... it is too hard... to expend emotional energy in ways that are not constructive.

Automated email asking teachers to verify their seniority date is the first sign that layoffs are coming this spring. The way we budget for education is so broken. #caedchat

Congratulations, sir! This dignified, statesman-like tweet is the perfect way to counter the book's narrative that you're an impulsive, childish dimwit. xitter.gq/realDonaldTrump/status…

Michael Wolff is a total loser who made up stories in order to sell this really boring and untruthful book. He used Sloppy Steve Bannon, who cried when he got fired and begged for his job. Now Sloppy Steve has been dumped like a dog by almost everyone. Too bad! xitter.gq/gop/status/94939508873…

As a pilot in the @USNavy, I was trained to deliver nuclear weapons. EVERYTHING we did with these weapons was deadly serious. No jokes, no threats, no mistakes. Every soldier, sailor, airman and marine gets that. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to discuss this further. xitter.gq/realdonaldtrump/status…

North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!

As long as you make a payment in 2017, it counts for your federal tax deduction. Yes, even an online payment at 11:59pm on December 31st counts... (2/4)

Bernie Sanders on his tweet suggesting Trump should "think about resigning": Franken "acknowledged that he acted inappropriately," while the President basically acknowledged he was "assaulting women, and well over a dozen women have made that complaint. And what happens to him?”
