The way that we came to understand love was that he laid down his life for us; we too must lay down our lives for our brothers. I ask you, how can God’s love survive in a man who has enough of this world’s goods yet closes his heart to his brother when he sees him in need?

Remember: Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House.

If they refuse to put forward an offer that includes any Democratic input and they don’t get Democratic votes—that’s on Republicans.

Americans rightly understand REPUBLICANS have pushed toward a shutdown.

One reason Bluesky (still) works for news is that there’s no obvious, pervasive culture of misinformation. If someone you trust reshares something on, say, Syria, the odds that it’s a chud trying to troll people remains relatively low.

If we go to the trouble to create an accommodation for one student who has an IEP, why not just offer it to everyone? It's not harder to give the support to everyone. When baked into our lesson as #UDL, supports can have far-reaching benefits. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #InclusiveEd

What can schools do to help #students
1. Enhance the sense of connection among students, staff, and families
2. Create Anti-bullying and Anti-Harassment Committees
3. De-stigmatise and Educate
4. Social-emotional learning program
5. Support the well-being of teachers

If we can't do inclusion well for our staff, we can hardly do it for our students.

This Thanksgiving I’m thankful for the fact checkers, editors, producers, writers, experts, managers, packers, customer support reps, designers, artists, agents, salespeople, executives, family members, researchers, and finance people who do things with me!

“Don’t give up on our neighbors. That’s the work of democracy.”

A house divided cannot stand.
“The people at the top — the Elon Musks, the Rupert Murdochs, and the Donald Trumps of the world — they work so hard to keep us angry and divided because our unity is a threat to their power.”

Thankful for my closest loved ones today! I’m also thankful and grateful to love the work I am privileged to do in schools and communities every day — but I always try to remember to keep the main thing the main thing. Thank you to my better half for being the amazing mother and partner she is!

Learning is sometimes uncomfortable -- and it can be scary! In what ways have you pushed yourself to explore new ideas or practices this year? #EduSky

"Rural Americans already have far less access to higher education than their counterparts in cities and suburbs. Now the comparatively few universities that serve rural students are eliminating large numbers of programs and majors, blaming plummeting enrollment and financial crises." #RuralEdChat

Gratitude can shape the culture in your school. In this week of thanks, what are some of the ways gratitude is expressed in your school or community? How does your school or community cultivate gratitude? Share your stories! #RuralEdChat #EduSky

"Every student deserves a great teacher."

That's the belief we've got to start with when thinking about strategic staffing and teacher preparation across the state and nation! If you don't start with this, what are you doing? #EduSky #USPREP
