Bettina Love asked today, “When do Black children get to have a full range of emotions? How can we ever get to Black joy if we can’t get through Black pain?” Might we use deep learning through play to move towards Black joy?@pedagogyofplay @BLoveSoulPower #RRJConference2020

High quality early learning matters! Let's hear from the presidential candidates tonight about where they stand on investing in childcare and young children.#InvestInKids #WeCareDebate @FoxNewsSunday @FoxNews
Congress must focus on COVID-19 relief and include at least $50B to #SaveChildCare. If they do not, America risks losing 4.5 million child care slots. @SpeakerPelosi @GOPLeader @senatemajldr @SenSchumer
Thanks @MassGovernor for announcing rapid response testing for schools. We need the same for early education and out-of-school programs that have been open since June 22!

Come for lunch on Wednesday! Bring food and items as specified on invite and let's explore the value of play in HE, why and who we are when we play and whether we are in an age of play #play #playfullearning #highered #playresearch eventbrite.com/e/playful-univ…
Finishing off the program of Day 2 the wonderful @MeginaBaker will share work by @pedagogyofplay and discuss what we mean by play across cultural contexts
@MeginaBaker @JessGosling2 @pedagogyofplay @BenMardell @ProjectZeroHGSE @LEGOfoundation Megina - Music play is a central part of work with children on the Spectrum. As Gardner says, it is universally apparent evolutionarily. There's a reason for that! Thanks for the work you're doing.
Humbled to share that I will be the 1st African American (American Descendant of Slaves) man to be promoted to rank of Full Professor at the University of Idaho, the state’s flagship research university. I earned this rank in 5 years and 7 months on tenure track.
If we want to build a nation that’s safe, strong, and healthy—we've got to focus on children. I visited West Haven Child Development Center to discuss the importance of childcare centers like theirs and how the American Rescue Plan lifts half of America's children out of poverty.
Governor McKee has indicated that we will be able to have events this summer with modified capacities. Though Newport Folk won’t look exactly the same, we are thrilled to be safely bringing music and artists back to the Fort.
How can the Pedagogy of Play inform teaching and learning during a pandemic? First post of our (new) newsletter, The Espresso! Created by me, @qikenwing and @bibliosonic at WIS. @pedagogyofplay #projectzero @LEGOfoundation bit.ly/38zRMsv
@JasonIsbell @brandicarlile @blkfootwhtfoot too many family faces in that tribute but thankful they had your voices ladies
I have growing dismay at what I see as a blindness in current DEI efforts toward gender and other often marginalized identities. Fighting the patriarchy and engaging in anti racism are not either/or - intersectionality must be at the center!
“In 100 days, I can practice getting used to discomfort. I can push myself to answer hard questions. I can hold myself accountable for moving myself forward, always. I can promise to speak up against unjust or biased speech or policies whenever I can.”
In this moment of transition and recommitment to our mission, we know that the work of dismantling harmful systems will take time. But there are steps we can take in the coming weeks to recommit to this work. Our advisory board provides some examples. learningforjustice.org/magazine/what-…
