Curious to know which books and/or organizations shaped your #SocialJustice and #RacialEquity lens
Looking at this book list from https://antiraciststarterpack.com/
The first book I read on #RaceConscious perspectives was #RaceMatters from #CornelWest
I typically recommend #HowToBeAnAntiRacist by #IbramXKendi to folks who are new to learning about #antiracism and #WeDoThisTilWeFreeUs by #MariameKaba for folks who are learning about #CommunityOrganizing with an #abolitionist lens
The orgs I recommend following to learn the basics around social justice issues are #MovementForBlackLives #M4BL #NDNCollective #ShowingUpForRacialJustice #SURJ #CriticalResistance and so many others

Another Symptom of #Missouri Teacher Shortage: Growing Number of 4-Day School Weeks
“40.5% of Missouri #teachers are leaving their school districts after three years. In Independence, that rate is slightly higher, with 43.7% choosing to leave their positions.
A four-day work week, which is growing in popularity in the tech industry, is pitched as an incentive for school staff to stay loyal to their professions and the district.”
#Texas bill outlaws diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in Texas Higher ed. “The response is not only to outlaw the teaching about injustice and political movements but to defund academic disciplines and programs that mention, think about, or enact diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
This bill is about censorship, commitment to U.S. exceptionalism, and prohibition.”

The best dyslexia/reading difficulty screener is early, appropriately intensive high quality reading instruction that includes all the good stuff including oral language. As early as we can, as well as we can. As an assessment person, I see too much $$ into testing.
Cognitive Biases and Brain Biology Help Explain Why Facts don’t Change Minds
Facts First
Once facts are established, opinions can be formed.
Problem is that while it sounds logical, It is a fallacy not supported by #research
#Cognitive #psychology and #neuroscience studies found that people form opinions based on emotions, such as fear, contempt and anger, rather than relying on facts.
Facts often do not change people’s minds.
*Seriously good* open access paper just out from Morten Hansen and Janja Komljenovic on automation and assetization in education. Automated #EdTech is a technocommercial strategy "that operates on students and teachers from far away and black-boxed servers." https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s42438-022-00359-4
Just catching up with the new 'Toolbox of interventions against online misinformation and manipulation'. Great resource for introducing people to these concepts (especially policy makers) https://interventionstoolbox.mpib-berlin.mpg.de/
