“‘Bob Moses was a giant, a strategist at the core of the civil rights movement. Through his life’s work, he bent the arc of the moral universe toward justice, making our world a better place. He fought for our right to vote, our most sacred right. He knew that justice, freedom and democracy were not a state, but an ongoing struggle.’” — Mississippi Today
“Most educators of color say they lacked any sort of professional development on how to support students after the high-profile police killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and other Black Americans, the protests for racial justice that followed, and the wave of violence against Asian Americans. Yet 70 percent said they did their own research to better understand racial justice and equity in education. And 45 percent said they made changes to ‘incorporate issues of racial justice in [their] work at school’ following these events.” — Education Week
“According to Yeh, these tests and other teaching techniques that rely on memorization give children a very narrow view of what math is. When math seems disconnected from everyday life, it makes it easy for students to claim it’s not their thing. Instead, highlighting math’s connection to concrete examples and students’ everyday context communicates that math is all over the place.” — KQED
