Do I know anyone who works as a school counselor or school psychologist in the Atlanta area who is willing to have a prospective student shadow them for a morning/afternoon/day??

Yesterday, I got to spend my morning and afternoon in a school and I just love being in classrooms 🥰

Saying we need AI because the kids are behind makes no sense to me.

If the kids can barely craft a prompt to enter into AI, let alone interpret the results…..

How is AI going to close the gaps??!!

At the risk of reading too much into Bluesky’s success at the moment, I do think it’s a signal that people don’t want to be surrounded by bots and manipulated algorithms

AI can only go so far. We want human connection.

A cutting board costs me $75 – it might cost you $10. What to know about the ‘disability tax’ Research shows disabled people need at least 28% more income than non-disabled people for a similar living standard

#DisabilityTax

“The reality is that it is expensive to be disabled. Research shows that disabled people need at least 28% more income, at least $17,690, to achieve a standard of living similar to that of non-disabled people.”

I would even add: please shamelessly promote your work

One terrific thing I enjoyed on old Twitter was discovering new papers

Trust me, you will have an audience if you share your work on Bluesky

Love ALL of this!! I’ve especially had success with consistent & straightforward graphics to communicate more complex topics. I’d also consider how to monitor their adjustment to the school environment and the connections their making with others (e.g., indices of happiness, social network analysis)

Middle School educators: how does your school consider socioemotional learning for adolescents? Selfishly asking because part of my role is to develop advisory curriculum and community meeting programming!

Happy Monday! As we step into a new week, let’s remember the meaningful work we do to support children and families. Together, we’re making a difference—one step at a time. Here’s to a week of growth and impact! 💙 #SchoolPsychology

I'm still reflecting on all the great discussions I heard yesterday. But this article immediately resonated with me. I've talked about brave spaces in my presentations, but accountable spaces is a better description of the spaces needed for critical conversations

I was so productive today. Proud of myself.

Hello BlueSky!

I’m Chanea (sha-nay). I teach high school & community college English & writing. My core value is compassion. I love learning and poetry is my jam.

I strive to be the the Black woman educator I always needed 💛

Very proud of this publication.

Even prouder that we could teach adults how to respond to biased and ignorant behaviors that perpetuate alienation amongst groups of children and the adults who are responsible for them!

I used Twitter to mainly build community with other Black graduate students and PhD students in 2017/2018 and I attribute so much of success to the community that upheld me.

I hope I can find an even broader community here to encompass all my interests and identities.

📢 Seeking practitioners ✨️ (BCBAs, ECSEs, OTs, PTs, school psychs, SLPs, and special eductors) ✨️ to take a brief survey 📃 that will help us identify cross disciplinary 🗣 jargon terms in autism research!

If you or someone you know is willing, message me for the link!

💡Every behavior is communication. Take a moment to ask, ‘What is this child trying to tell us?’ Understanding is the first step to supporting.💡

And just like that-academic twitter reformed into academic BlueSky. I’ve missed seeing all this interaction and sharing of science.

If you’re new here, this is helpful 🦋
