@audiewood.bsky.social has been working tirelessly to get this program off the ground, and it's a great cause -- a life skills education program that has already done so much to help young people

(And, because of the shutdown, Audie just for paid for the first time in months)

Education advice of the night: Anonymous chan boards are not reliable places to do research or discover new information. There are far better sources out there—protect your mind and your time.

AI is a great tool that can help educators design an online class.

AI is a great tool that can be used to polish your writing, but not write a paper. (Helllooo grammarly)

There is a 0% that any educator at a reputable school is teaching students to use AI to write term papers for them.
If this is remotely true, then Southern Illinois University Carbondale needs to have an intervention with its Dean of Education who does not seem to understand “education”

What I’ve loved most over the last year and a half is meeting with policymakers to talk about education. What I’ve learned is that both sides truly care—we just approach solutions differently, and that’s okay. That balance is what makes America, America. 🇺🇸

Workforce development is the foundation of financial stability. When we train students with the skills they need for both learning and earning, we set them up for real success. 🚀 #WorkforceDevelopment #StudentSuccess

Big news: starting Summer 2026, Empowering Education will hire students who completed our course the previous term as paid mentors for new students. Peer mentors know the struggle and the wins — and that empathy changes everything. 💪📚 #PeerMentoring

Hello everyone! Today we’re shooting for 100 $20 donations — this will help us cover 20 college applications and open 10 students’ first Charles Schwab mutual fund accounts.
We’re also aiming for 100 $100 donations to help us hire a teacher for the winter & spring terms.

Our December Student of the Month wrote her final paper on how SNAP helped her family stabilize and eventually no longer need it. You’ll meet her Dec 5, but her story is a reminder:
They are poor, not lazy.
Forgotten, not nonexistent.
They are our future — and we’ll fight for them.

Talking about racial discrimination & inequality in upward mobility is uncomfortable — but necessary. Race and place of birth still shape access to opportunity in America. I'm committed to facing these truths & building real pathways for students to rise. #Equity #UpwardMobility

This fall, every DMV high school senior who completes an Empowering Education class will get a Charles Schwab account and $500 invested in a mutual fund on their 18th birthday. Teaching financial literacy is great—giving tools to use it is better. 💸🎓 #FinancialLiteracy

💬 How do we get students actually engaged in financial literacy?

We teach budgeting, saving, credit… but what REALLY makes it click?

Is it:
💸 Money simulations
📱 Apps/tech
🏆 Gamification
🎓 Career connections
💡 Real-life examples

👇 Share your thoughts!

This week, Empowering Education is pushing hard to hit a major milestone in our fundraising drive. As we expand into Baltimore and the DMV, we’re raising funds to hire 2 teachers, an academic advisor, and secure the learning management system that will power our students’ success.

Empowering Education is officially in the DMV!
This week we’re raising funds to hire 2 teachers + 1 academic advisor so we can serve even more students. Our goal: $100,000. It’s a big ask—but great causes deserve great goals. 💛📚

Our words as educators matter. Students internalize the labels we give them. Let’s give feedback that builds, not breaks — words that lift them to their highest potential. 🌱 #Education #Teaching #GrowthMindset
