Pa. school funding lawsuit verdict is ‘correct.’ But the fight for equity isn’t over. | Opinion inquirer.com/opinion/comment… via @phillyinquirer @zfwright @Phillys7thWard

What was the most meaningful critique you have received about your teaching—how was it communicated and how has it affected your practice?
Read Dr. Dale Ripley's and @zfwright's response to this question on @educationweek: bit.ly/3jSRztf

Sometimes just a moment in time or a one-off comment can change the way teachers view their practice.
Educators share @MsAmberChandler, @zfwright, and Dale Ripley their experiences.

Today @Troy4NJ7 came to visit and talk about the NJ legislature. His interactive presentation helped us better understand how bills become laws. The value of his visit will stick with our students long after 4th grade is over. Thank you Senator! #CollsEdu #TeamTroy #TatemTweets

"I want my writing to be like my teaching..." Simple but powerful techniques from educator activist author and educator @zfwright! There's more in the latest ep. of The LP ubnd.org/3WiFcUu

It is a mistake to believe that someone's idea is their devotion, especially regarding anti-racism in education. @zfwright gets honest about his role as an anti-racist white educator on The LP. ubnd.org/3GWMngV
Zachary Wright retweeted
Fast facts: teacher prep can have an imbalanced focus on theory. There can also be a racial imbalance of theorists that are focused on. @zfwright offers an equity-based proposal to rectify this on the LP ubnd.org/3kaDya0

I've known @zfwright to be a good dude devoted to naming inequities in the education system but also backing it up with powerful instruction. I'm grateful for his book, and the convo we got to have!
Ep. 3 of The LP: Literature in Practice is live! Host @classroomB sat down with author and educator @zfwright to discuss his book, “Dismantling a Broken System”. Learn what it takes to 'bridge the opportunity, equity, and justice gap in American education' ubnd.org/3kaDya0

“The system is not too big. And that particularly, for smaller, predominantly white districts, the work is not to be done elsewhere. The work has to be done right in your own backyard.”
What does @zfwright want you to learn from his book? Listen now!

When folks say that 'education is political', they mean that they want to preserve White Supremacy.
Education is and has always been political.
Anybody who wants to "keep politics out of education" just wants to keep the status quo; that is, education for the benefit of White power structures.

@SunlightPolicy Education is and has always been political. By asserting that the @NJEA is out of line by encouraging and empowering teachers to be culturally responsive, you are placing yourselves on the sides of folks like DeSantis and Abbot. You have some explaining to do.

This is great and welcome news! @zfwright’s book “Dismantling a Broken System” is another excellent one to add to the list. And following / listening to @8BlackHands1 @selmekki @citizenstewart if you aren’t already!
I’m also looking for book recs as I dig into my new beat.
First up, @DrCamikaRoyal's book Not Paved for Us: Black Educators and Public School Reform in Philadelphia. 5/5

Just wrapped up a lit review on #databased decision making and I hop on here to see that @zfwright is using the process to squash social injustices in schools! Data does not just mean test scores. We have to start looking at EVERYTHING that is impacting #studentachievement

#ShoutOut to @zfwright on his very first conference presentation! 🎉🙌🏼 We know you rocked it! @nnstoy
About to present at a conference for the first time! Thank you @NNSTOY for giving me the opportunity to share how we can all use Hyper-Local Activism to agitate for educational justice in our communities!
