Earlier this morning, #InvestInOurNY and 48 other organzations released a statement, urging Gov. Hochul, Speaker Heastie, and Leader Stewart-Cousins to convene a special session and protect New Yorkers from the Federal Budget Scam.

New Yorkers can't wait any longer for lawmakers to fight back.

Didn't know about #ChapelHillShooting till I saw tweets, Facebook. Thanks @maureenjahmed #educolor for bringing to our attention. Crazy.

A4- difficult to address current events when admin/teachers don't know what's happening, fear they don't know enough/won't be PC #educolor

A7 I'm working on teaching students how to show interests, ideas, w/ speaking or writing. But I still silence em in other ways #educolor

Sad I missed part of the #educolor chat because I got my time zones mixed up. There's always a next time! :)

Participat'n in #educolor chat bout "grit" and "rigor" in ed. Particularly interested in how that intersects w/ race, class, urban poverty.
November 22, 2024 at 12:01 PM
#educolor chat 7:30EST, 6:30 Chicago time! I'll be popping in/out as I'll be commuting and finishing up appointment.
November 22, 2024 at 12:01 PM
I hate this idea of grit and rigor when mass incarceration, homelessness, poverty are still things. Not easy to overcome. #EduColor

I'm Annie Tan, raised in Chinatown, NYC, immigrant parents, speak Cantonese/Toisanese with em, 3rd yr special ed teacher, Chicago #EduColor

A2 teaching students to be motivated and love learning is more appropriate. Means we have to make curric relevant, meaningful #EduColor
November 22, 2024 at 11:52 AM
A2 Teaching grit and rigor in schools can be dangerous in teaching students not to grieve, take time to reflect, be socioemotional #educolor
November 22, 2024 at 11:52 AM
Students getting time in classroom to share their experiences, teachers valuing student experiences, administration pushing, key #educolor
November 22, 2024 at 11:52 AM
A4 Rigor assumes studts'll just learn w/ highr expectatns. Seen teachrs focus on test prep & academcs lose students in front of em #educolor
November 22, 2024 at 11:52 AM
Have to stop tweeting; phone dying. You all are awesome. Stereotypes of grit and rigor aren't for ToC and SoC. #educolor
