Teacher friends,

What stage of end of Winter break are you in?

I am currently in “I am super excited to head back to my classroom, except first, I need to spend all day cooking to distract myself from the fact that these transitions are so hard.“

Exhibit A: huge pot of spaghetti sauce

Jimmy Carter: Losing my religion for equality — Women's Ordination Worldwide Jimmy Carter: Losing My Religion for Equality Women and girls have been discriminated against for too long in a twisted interpretation of the word of God.

“It is simply self-defeating for any community to discriminate against half its population.”

Jimmy Carter’s writings made me look at religion in a new way. I will be forever grateful for his humanitarian work, and his thoughtful, intelligent discourse.

Soaking some black beans, and I’m bored with all the recipes I have. What are your favorite ways to cook black beans?

Hi! Hopefully whoever is putting together the list will add you. I’m curious, though, what texts are you teaching right now in your classes?

Just read the response from Costco to shareholders requesting it back down from DEI. It was glorious. It begins "Our Board has considered this proposal and believes … an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." and gets better. A happy investor #diversityandinclusion

Ok here we go, so some things that will actually help teachers, education, and our public schools. Let's start with teacher training.
1. Incoming college freshmen should get tuition scholarships/discounts for being education majors. Here's a version of that but we could tweak it any 🧵 #edusky

So important to remember.

I’ve been working for over 25 years to find ways to help students find a love for reading and it wasn’t until I recognized and acknowledged the complexity of students experiences with reading, that I started doing a better job.

And then use their new understanding to analyze, evaluate, rank, and then improve the thesis statements they had already written in groups. Worked pretty well, and even served to help them understand why the ChatGPT “model” was not practical for the AP Lit exam. Good conversation. #edusky

Many of them already are very familiar with ChatGPT, so I decided early on to show them how to use it ethically and to actually help them. Today, actually, I used it to generate a thesis statement for an #APLit prompt. We analyzed the prompt, using criteria we developed for effective theses #edusky

Thanksgiving leftovers, part three: ham and broccoli pizza

Not super happy with the pizza crust recipe I found on #nytimescookung but it was the simplest one, so I’m gonna try another one next.

In love with the garlic sauce recipe I used, via ChatGPT

A lot of people think everything will work out if we just play by the rules but don’t seem to recognize that rules only matter when everyone agrees to follow them and, well, that isn’t our present reality.
