Bluesky academics, let’s get to know each other! Quote & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren’t working on but keep thinking about.
1) The implementation of Asian Am studies in K-12 classrooms in 5 states
2) How book bans created space for right wing kid lit 😭

Happy to announce my first publication from my dissertation research. In this special issue in Leading & Managing, I examined how school safety leaders used different types of imagination to bring school safety practices to life.

Excited for my recent co-written, open-access teaching case article on hoax school shootings! #schoolsafety
Let's discuss: What's a lesser-known, everyday school emergency that educators and leaders respond to?

To be clear, I’m not catastrophizing. Schools, districts, and states need to look at where they’re receiving #schoolsafety monies. DOJ for SROs? Ed dept for mental health? SAMHSA?
What’s your backup? Community partnerships? Wrap-around services?

School shooting data trends with 4 weeks of classes left in 2024
Less than 2% chance of the 2024 total exceeding the record of 349 incidents last year. This is the first downward trend since 2015.

These parent prosection are certainly warranted, but I am very skeptical they would affect the likelihood of future tragedies. In many of these cases, parents are in such denial that they likely can't imagine their kid could become a school shooter, much less being prosecuted for it
Colin Gray was indicted last month on 29 charges, including second-degree murder, manslaughter, cruelty to children and reckless conduct, in connection with the Sept. 4 attack at Apalachee High School, where his son, Colt, allegedly opened fire on students and staff.
Father of Georgia school shooting suspect pleads not guilty to murder
The case against Colin Gray marks the first time the parent of an alleged school shooter has been charged with murder.

@uceagsc.bsky.social and @aeraedresearch.bsky.social what about adding conference presentation shares?
Yessssss! Journal editors and board members let’s do this! Folks on academic org committees! We can make the case to at the very least change the “Your Twitter handle” box on everything to something like “Your social media profile” #commsky
I for one would be thrilled by “Share to Bluesky”

We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how:

As a teacher, one of the most important lessons I learned was being “respectful.” Some people people act as “treat me as a human and I treat you as a human.” Others act as “treat me as an authority or I won’t treat you as a human.” I was today years old when I learned that “safety” is similar. 1/2

I was 15 years old when the Columbine shooting happened. 25 years later, firearms are the leading cause of death among children and teens and school shootings persist. We can (and must) do so much better. Grateful to the @latimes for the chance to write this piece:

Many 911 call centers are understaffed, and the job has gotten harder
