It’s #GivingTuesday and, for the love of math, it’s time to support our students and teachers. Retweet if you support math literacy, and visit algebra.org to learn how you can help give every child access to algebra.
Shout out to AP board member @beejwalker for this salient Op-Ed she's published in @TheImprintNews. Her advocacy for Black, brown, and poor children extends far beyond education and we encourage you to give her piece on host homes in New York a read: imprintnews.org/opinion/host-h…

@beejwalker @JanaGlenn @TheImprintNews @JessPryce @alfranckmeyer @beejwalker Yes! It is not just the relational health of children but their networks and PARENTS. We must stop making parents the villains of the story. We repeat what we don’t repair. We should promote that by standing right alongside them as allies.
“Our #childwelfare systems demand an immediacy of response that doesn’t allow time for understanding, much less intervening on, root causes. Instead, the system reacts... by over-investigating Black and brown families and then “rescuing” their children.” imprintnews.org/opinion/the-ra…
"One reason we cannot fix it is that our systems are built to address crisis moments rather than root causes. This is how bias and inequity become institutionalized in our public systems and their work." @TheImprintNews @beejwalker imprintnews.org/opinion/the-ra…
Thank you to @RusslynnAli, Maisha Moses @lifebejoy, and @beejwalker for sharing your truths and wisdom at the @SNCC60th Anniversary Conference. #SNCC60th #SNCCLeaders #SNCCPastandPresent #SNCCHereAndNow #SNCCChangedAmerica #MovementPioneers #MovementBuilders

We Need a New Business Model in the Field of Child Welfare imprintnews.org/opinion/we-nee…
In addressing systemic racism we need to be very careful not to get so distracted by removing the symbols and statues that we don’t have enough energy to get rid of the policies and practices. They are the “sticks and stones” your mother used to tell you about
As we struggle to move the protests over the murder of George Floyd into a space where we can pursue solutions, we have to understand that racism lives inside root causes - one of which is education. Who knew that no court has eve…lnkd.in/dz-mfSX lnkd.in/d_dBm9J
So I just wanna ask- how many would have thought that no federal Court had ever ruled our kids are mandated to attend school but that they have no right to a meaningful education or a foundational level of literacy....who knew? What then is the purpose of public education?
