A hypothesis on why #CSforAll remains so elusive in American K12 education (a thread):
“Career pathways” isn’t cutting it as rationale for broadening equitable participation in Comp Sci education across K12.
We need to reframe the need.

The impact of computing innovations on society, economy, and culture - particularly in just the past 25 years - is undeniably immense.
Not one school, district, state, tribal, territorial, or federal education administrator or policymaker will deny this.

But, even as educational leaders can see as clearly as #remotelearning just how pervasively computing innovations now-constantly alter our day-day lives..
..we’re afraid, systemwide, to take on the question of whether to allow K12 kids to study that which impacts them, too. 3/

Excited to share a new pub with @EstebanMoralesV @FleerackersA @juancommander about undergrad students' knowledge construction via @hypothes_is social #annotation. And it's all open: the data, the article, the peer review (thx @F1000Research). Check it out f1000research.com/articles/11-23…
Our case concerns students’ online discussion via social #annotation. We studied 3 different undergrad courses, analyzed over 2,000 @hypothes_is annotations, identified patterns in how students constructed knowledge together, and discussed implications for instruction #EdResearch
Lots of #highered talk right now about the future of digital education, how students meaningfully collaborate, and how social reading practices—like #annotation—can help students learn online. Our study shows that asynch discussion can help students construct knowledge together.
**A THREAD ON IMPROVING TEACHER HIRING PRACTICES**
The hiring process has long been identified for school administrators as their single most critical job duty..
..but, en masse, hiring in education remains woefully antiquated.
Here’s a potential fix..

1️⃣ Rid the hiring process *completely* of the overwhelmingly fixed mindset-rooted Q&A that plagues it.
There is **zero** research base to associate a teacher “thinking on their toes” in giving “the right” answers to questions on the fly, and their efficacy in the classroom.

2️⃣ Replace the anti-#growthmindset Q&A with a lesson the candidate delivers in front of a hiring panel.
The content/skills to be developed during the lesson should be given to the candidate at least 48 hours in advance of the screening date.
In other words, kill the “gotcha”..

🧵 alert! How can educators support students and lay the groundwork for a more resilient system moving forward? Ahead of #naeycAC and in light of the current challenges in education today, we're proud to share this special collection from our partners at @ChildhoodEdIntl⬇️ #ECE
"One of the greatest challenges educators face is responding to urgent concerns caused by crisis affecting their students, while also creating the groundwork for a more sustainable and resilient system moving forward.
Teachers need creative ways to respond to disruption, students need emotional support to build resilience and perseverance, and schools need ideas for transformative approaches with the flexibility to respond effectively to future disruptions.
THREAD: What are some writing tips for a successful @Spencer_Fdn Research Grant Proposal?
So glad you asked! ONE: Remember who your readers are. Your proposal will be read by people who are knowledgeable in your field of study & methodology as well as generalists in ed research.
So glad you asked! ONE: Remember who your readers are. Your proposal will be read by people who are knowledgeable in your field of study & methodology as well as generalists in ed research.
Therefore, your writing should be clear and direct. While you may use technical language in your proposal, please avoid jargon and hyperbole.
TWO: Plan writing with your deadline in mind. It's tempting to aim for the next available proposal deadline, but that can lead to rushed and incomplete proposals.
