Giving Voice to Eating Disorders in Boys Eating disorders often manifest differently in boys and can be harder to detect. Author John Schu draws upon his personal experience in his book, "Louder Than Hunger."

Day 3

Teaching is always political.

Todavía estoy aprendiendo, pero a los ojos del estado de Illinois, ¡soy oficialmente bilingüe! Descubrí la semana pasada que aprobé mi examen del idioma español.

With what’s happening in our world today, I’m hoping I can leverage my privilege and my bilingualism to help in some way!

Such an important point to consider.

This image serves as a reminder about social media sharing on Bluesky. It features a blue sky background with white clouds and a bold heading reading "REMINDER" accompanied by an exclamation mark in a red circle. The text emphasizes: Bluesky's algorithm is not based on capitalism, so it works differently. Engagement operates differently compared to other platforms. While likes are good, reposting boosts visibility. To support the community, repost content you resonate with to increase its visibility. The message is designed to encourage users to engage through reposting for greater community impact.

Just a reminder that BlueSky works a bit differently. If something resonates with you be sure to repost to let others know it is agreat idea! While likes are great, reposting highlights great ideas for the communities we are building. #TLSky #EduSky #KidLit #Skybrarian #Edtech #Education

Do you know this from the Mexican education ministry library service? tripulantes.sep.gob.mx Don't know how often the books change...

I want to do an optional book club with my heritage speakers of Spanish. Who has some recommendations for books in Spanish for a group of 5th graders?

RTs welcome!

We need to keep talking about how weird it is for people to think they should have a say in reading choices for anyone's kids but their own. You're not in charge of what other people's children eat or wear or when they go to bed. Why on earth would you get to choose what they read?

25% of kids in the US are Latinx, so here’s your Latinx KidLit starter pack and make sure to read, boost, and support Latinx stories all year long!

Being a linguist is inherently political. We know that all language is equal and that being treated differently because of your languaging has to do with the body you inhabit and not the language itself.

#linguistics #language

"Ser linguista é inerentemente político. Sabemos que todas as línguas são iguais e que ser tratado de forma diferente por causa da sua forma de falar tem a ver com o corpo que você habita, e não com a língua em si."

The science of reading debate is so hot in education spaces right now and this is an important point #EduSky

Student made alphabet cards

Teaching foundational reading skills is about more than phonics and decoding—it’s about making every child feel seen and valued. #TheRightTools

Click that follow button for every person that made you 🤯 😃 🤩 😂 🤔 ! #theedcollab

I really appreciate all of the calls to keep fighting for students and their families.
