"In the U.S., an average of about 900 people a week have died of COVID-19 over the past year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."
It is truly wild that it is estimated that more than 20 million people died of Covid and the prevailing vibe is that the world overreacted. That is an astonishing toll! More people died of Covid in the US than in the Civil War. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...
5 years after it appeared, things we know and still don't know about COVID
Five years after the virus that causes COVID emerged in China it still holds some mysteries.

Opinion: The Tough Task of Messaging Morality to Kids in Trump’s Second Term
How do you instill the triumph of democratic virtues given the president-elect’s long history of bullying, lying and espousing violence? Not easily.

As a former National Teacher of the Year, I’ve seen how federal protections in education are more than policies—they’re lifelines. 
Eliminating the USDOE risks dismantling decades of progress.
Please Read my article on why equity in education is for all:

Civil rights protections aren’t bureaucratic red tape — they’re lifelines for our most vulnerable students

As a journalist, I’m often asked what it would sound like if the Democrats were forceful, proactive, & affirmative in their views on policy & values regarding immigration. This conversation with Andrea Flores, moderated by Jose Antonio Vargas, is exemplary. Worth your time. youtu.be/2By9y9fkT-M?...

NEW Nearly half of the 1.4 million people in the U.S. immigration system with final deportation orders cannot be sent back to their home countries, according to internal ICE data. It’s one of several obstacles Trump’s mass removal plan will face www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
Many targeted for removal by Trump can’t be deported, ICE data shows
Some would-be deportees’s home countries won’t take them or limit cooperation with ICE. Others have received reprieves or deferrals from immigration judges.

What does equity really mean for MLs?

MLs "cannot benefit from an unsupported curriculum, and if 'language support' means a remedial curriculum or simplified, inauthentic language, we've set up students for long-term failure..." ascd.org/el/articles/... #ELSky
What Does Equity Really Mean for Multilingual Learners?
Scaffolding up the curriculum, rather than watering it down, is key for English learners.

How can we help multilingual learners develop academic language?

Sonia Cabell reminds us every learner needs intentional support in comprehension, but multilingual learners will need a higher dose of these best practices!
