Ten years ago *Last Week Tonight* aired a Mother’s Day segment on paid leave. Guess what? We *still* don’t have a national policy. Moms are done waiting. Care is essential, child care is unaffordable, and rights are under attack.

13 states stepped up. Congress, you’re next. Tag your reps.

4 things teachers can say instead of “This is easy” 👇

“Practice makes perfect.”
“You are capable of completing this.” 🧡
“It’s OK to struggle.”
“This is easy for me—but I’ve been doing this a long time.” 🕰️

"TURN THE #CAPTIONS ON
Subtitles and closed captioning can be your secret weapon for improving students’ reading skills..."

YES!
All the time 4 everyone!
Captions are built in- free & easy to turn on in #Google Slides, #PowerPoint , YouTube

6 Ways Technology Can Help You Teach Reading More Effectively. When used well, tech tools can reveal where students are struggling, highlight their progress, and challenge and inspire them to improve. Illustration of a student wearing over-the-head headphones. There's an overlay over the headphones of a page from a book, with another page in the background.

As a coach for first and second year teachers, this has been so powerful for our collaborative work. One thing I keep hearing is that they want to have co-teaching opportunities so they can see teaching moves modeled within their setting and alongside them. 🍎
