How can you be a faithful juror, casting your vote on the basis of the facts and evidence, if you don’t listen attentively to the proceedings? I don’t get why it’s okay to vote as a juror if you didn’t show up and listen. @sdrumm forbes.com/sites/andrewsolen…

I've known for a long time that I am descended from poor white farmers who got their big break with the Homestead Act. I have copies of 3 land grants hanging in my house to prove it. What I did not consider for years was that Black Americans did not have the same opportunity...

Since 2016, the number of refugees being welcomed into the US has dropped by 65%. How selfish of us. Watch this video in honor of World Refugee Day - Then visit @RESCUEorg to learn more.
They called them refugees.
Now they call them heroes.

Most important thing to do—on #WorldRefugeeDay and every day—is treat refugees like human beings. That means overseas aid programmes that give dignity, empowerment, hope. And it means richer countries should have programmes that welcome the most vulnerable express.co.uk/news/world/129…

From Mayor @ScottFadness on the Fishers Equity Awareness Demonstration: "Tonight, I witnessed our next generation come together to clearly voice their collective anger, frustration, and disappointment at previous generations' inability to right the wrongs of the past. (1/3)

Let me be clear. This is revolting. The Bible is not a prop. A church is not a photo op. Religion is not a political tool. God is not your plaything.

The things you do in quarantine... @DrummHannah bought this Arthur Goes to the Library game when she was 6 (she’s 22 now). We decided to play it tonight for old time’s sake. 😂 😂😂 @engineeringdaze won by one.

Day 5 #12DaysofeLearning Got two reading threads going...on the passion side, How to Be an Antiracist (rec by @mrdearybury). On the I-need-some-nostalgia side, I've been re-reading my fav Richard Peck books. Grandma Dowdel makes me laugh, and I don't have to think too hard.

Can you read the quote at the top of this picture? @Design39Campus began w/ the founders’ beliefs about kids & learning. The ‘system’, processes....(schedule, curriculum, building...stuff) came AFTER the North Star was solid. The ‘mechanics’ had to be consistent w/ the VISION.

“Only a transformative pedagogy, founded on racial justice, will allow us to realize our ideals of diversity and inclusivity.” Yes- and we must #RethinkAssessment too. Let’s allow students to show competency in ways that are meaningful to THEM. @ALPinsights
“The key to ending racism and racist acts of violence within our society is to examine what is taking place in our classrooms.” - @TauheedahBaker hgse.me/2USQItF #BlackHistoryMonth

Standardized tests were created to hold institutions accountable - not to judge individual students. How can #Indiana put standardized tests back in their place? #RethinkAssessment How about it, @INSBOE? We need some creative problem-solving here!

The disconnect is so real, @pammoran. I notice it most w/ parents. Kicks in around grade 7. Suddenly empathy & teamwork take a back seat to grades and AP scores in parents’ minds. The system needs an overhaul! @jodybritten link.medium.com/0lxzvLJnX1

Students will face a myriad of stressors. We can help build the resilience needed to not only cope with stress, but to thrive. Together, we can prepare children to build communities, and handle the challenges of life after HSE. Learn more: hseschools.org/wegotthis #WeGotThis #SEL
