In our third Conference to Restore Humanity! 2025 workshop, Pedagogical Documentation: Learning Stories as Stewardship, educator and author Angela Stockman invites participants to move beyond traditional measures to explore how pedagogical documentation serves as an act of stewardship—honoring, preserving, and nurturing rich narratives about learners and learning.
1:15-3:15 ET | Wednesday, July 23rd
We hope you'll join us! https://www.humanrestorationproject.org/conference #K12 #education
Yeah
Also, which countries (just in Europe?) have 4 years of tag-team parental leave through to pre-K?
Free post-secondary #tuition
Fully funded #k12
Free #school lunch programs for all
Free before and after school #childcare
No for-profit k12 or post-secondary schools
This isn't brain surgery! It's the political will to tax the rich!
25% wealth tax/year, dropping to 5% when they're down to $78m

It is deeply clear at this part of the century that only deeply regressive "rich" countries charge tuition for #k12 or #postsecondary.
Count the #European #OECD countries charge no tuition, even for international students?
Politicians who say education is an investment, are all lying unless they end tuition. 54% of American adults read at the grade 6 level or lower.
Critical thinking, moral philosophy, media analysis skills.

Be sure to check out "Critical Social & Emotional Learning: From 'Competencies' to 'Culture' with Dr. Emma McMain" at Conference to Restore Humanity! 2025.
This workshop reimagines SEL as open dialogue rather than a rigid checklist. We'll explore how personal values connect to broader cultural contexts, then collaboratively create a practical artifact that transforms SEL from "skills to teach" into a shared process of growth.

We found a new wasp! Students are discovering insect species through citizen science
Playgrounds can host a variety of natural wonders – and, of course, kids! Now some students are not just learning about insects and spiders at school — they are putting them on the map and even discovering and naming new species.

@aram Sputnik. A generation before me. Blind panic from top to bottom, opening a short window during which the broad society, and relevant institutions, were willing to make sacrifices to commit resources to science education.
Primary result: total failure.
Secondary result: every five or ten years, another comprehensive report appears that details the previous cycle's failures, and makes recommendations that are invariably ignored in the next cycle.
Turning 80-ish (usa letter-sized) pages of reading into Google Slides so students can read more comfortably on their Chromebooks.
I really wish I could just use an HTML page, but last I looked Google Drive won't display HTML files as web pages.
I suppose I could make it 8.5x5.5 landscape PDF, but not sure how well that would work on their screens.
Any thoughts?
(Reading started in #TexLatex, so I can #pandoc it into just about anything.)
NEW EPISODE: Just as someone steering a ship adjusts the rudder based on feedback from the ocean, so too does good pedagogy depend on what our guest today, biology teacher Christian Moore-Anderson, calls “recursive teaching”, or a constant feedback loop of action, interpretation, and learning between teachers and students.
