Sharing this again. I’d appreciate it if you could spread the word. This book is important.
Now is a really good time to buy this book, which couldn’t be timelier or more vital

My son is autistic, largely nonverbal. He reads a lot, is smitten with all things Lego. He excels in school. He finds his ways to communicate.
There’s nothing wrong with autism. The rhetoric drives me mad.
It’s on us to make the world easier for neurodiverse folks, not to push them to conform.

I can't believe I need to have an AI policy! I made it pretty short though: Using AI is cheating, yourself mostly. In addition to the environmental blight created by AI, it makes no sense to use it in your intellectual and creative work. Why would you outsource your innate intelligence?

From poor reading performance to higher discipline rates, boys are struggling. Are fewer male teachers part of the problem?

"With Men Abandoning Teaching, What’s the Cost to Boys,” my essay @edutopia.org explores the impacts of men leaving teaching and the very real challenges boys are now facing in schools.
Writing about teaching is such important work, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to share my stories.

The number of male teachers is shrinking—and the effects on boys' learning, behavior, and identity may be deeper than we realize. This new piece from educator @davonloeb.bsky.social is a must-read: www.edutopia.org/article/with...

With Men Abandoning Teaching, What’s the Cost to Boys?
Fewer male teachers means fewer male mentors—and for many boys, that’s affecting how they learn, behave, and envision their futures.
