If what we really care about is students gaining the skills they need, providing Proficiency Days for addressing the need for academic recovery, reassessment, and enrichment empowers learners and educators to ensure that competencies are met. @edutopia.bsky.social www.edutopia.org/article/fini...
‘Proficiency Days’ Are a Great Way to End the School Year
Instead of the end-of-year rush to turn in missing assignments, this district set up a meaningful way to ensure that high school students met standards.

Looking for articles from conservative publications or media outlets that discuss the problems Musk and DOGE are creating with SS, Medicare and jobs, and also articles that decry the tariffs. Need to share with someone who would just look at NY Times, CNN and other outlets as “liberal propaganda “

Camel 🐫 case
In hashtags, it helps if each new word starts with a capital letter. Otherwise, sighted users could see a string of letters and not immediately know where one word ends and a new word begins. Capitalized words also help screen readers properly read out the hashtag.

When considering rainbow text, don't forget to consider readability and legibility. Text filled with rainbows can be difficult to read. Same with complex rainbow backgrounds. Putting each word or letter in a different color of the rainbow could force readers to work harder.

Great info! Please Alt text your images!
You don't necessarily need to say "image of" in your alt text for users to know it's an image. Screen readers will announce that it's an image. But it can help readers to specify if it's a hand-drawn image, Polaroid, infographic, screenshot, chart, map, diagram, or so on.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Avoid character complexity in fonts. Simpler shapes and patterns of typographical text are more quickly and accurately analyzed by the human mind. Be careful with complex fonts, especially for long sections of text.

I am checking out BlueSky after leaving that other app. I am a Jewish, liberal educator with a passion for inclusion and the ways technology can support all learners. I love the genres of historical fiction, romance, and magical realism. Here for Dem politics , book recs & inclusive education👋
