Sad news about a former student. Those of you who were at UT probably knew Kerry. Just a super, super good guy and a committed educator. If you’d like to help his family out, you might want to consider contributing here.

Hey teachers, I have gotten SO MANY responses from my call out a few days ago. Seriously, it's been amazing to talk to so many of you.
I still need to interview a teacher at a Title 1 School. Please reach out if you're interested in talking this weekend!

I was on a phone call today (sorry Zoom) and as we ended, the other person said goodbye. I responded goodbye but at that exact second my dog howled really loudly. Pretty sure that’s what came through instead of my goodbye and I wonder if the other person thinks I howled.
Here's a good blog from my colleagues at @digitalpromise about the work/life/learning balance looks like for us during this whole stay at home thing: digitalpromise.org/2020/04/0…. Great work by @CarlyChillmon to put it all together.
Exciting news about me: I've started a new job at @DigitalPromise! I'll be continuing to do research around data use, tech, innovation, and school improvement. YAY!!! Great people, great mission. I'm home, y'all.
Fantastic piece. My son stutters and has been blessed to be surrounded with teachers, friends, & his speech therapist who made sure he’s never experienced it negatively. Over the years, stories have helped contribute to his confidence and this is right in line. Thank you so much.

How interesting do we need to make our classes? Here's a thread. My son once had a science class where they were going to dissect a frog. He was pretty excited about that. 1/4
So he found a friend who was wearing long pants and who wasn’t in the class and asked him if he’d trade for the day. They traded pants in the locker room and my son got to dissect the frog. 3/4

It breaks me to think what’s going on now, 5 years later, in Syria and Libya, but the film is a great reminder of how, why and what we fight for. – at Paris, France
Here's what it's about:
