Academic writing is wild bc you’ll read four articles just to write one sentence.

Anyway, here’s a thread of resources I’ve been using to speed through this review I’m working on:
First up: Connected Papers

This outputs a network graphic, list of titles and abstracts of the most relevant prior and derivative research papers connected to the one you type into the search bar. SO SO useful and much more than just a network of connected citations Image
Next we have the Scholarcy plug-in for Chrome. I'll note that there's a paid option that's slightly more functional, but the free version has been a Godsend for me. Pin it to your browser, open a paper, hit the button and it outputs a summary of the most important points. ImageImageImage

There’s an Amanda Gorman at every HS you call underperforming, inner city, and/or the G word.

Honor. Black. Students. Art.

#InaugurationDay
This tweet is doing numbers. So #CiteASista.

After that, donate to orgs/ groups like Urban Word who help young Black & brown spoken word poets today so you can help fund the next Amanda Gorman of tomorrow.

Since somma y’all new & lacking reading comprehension, let me help:

Amanda’s Black elite access underscores my larger point—there are Black youth artists this country WILL NEVER see with equal+ talent BECAUSE of their schools. We are NOT the talented 10th alone.

I see lots of posts about instructors interested in trying #ungrading, or contract-based grading. Here's some materials that showcase how I do it. (Thread)

1) Here's a syllabus that provides some context and the framework I’m operating in: drive.google.com/file/d/13lKkiB…
2) These are final portfolio templates that illustrate how I ultimately assess students at the end of term. They select most work they want me to review, with exception of the final:

*for FY Writing: docs.google.com/document/d/1Hz…

*for adv. writing courses: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
3) Here are examples of student portfolios from FY Writing and one from an adv. writing course that used a similar template. I'm using Google Forms now too, but I'm deciding which method is better. WPAs might find Google Forms better for research purposes: drive.google.com/drive/folders/…

#Usmovie thread *spoliers* So here's our attempt/essay on the complex/rich @JordanPeele visual narrative/film. First let's #citeasista @NotYoAfrodisiac editor/writer @WearYourVoice @BlackYouthProj as foundational text researching Black survival in horror

@JordanPeele @NotYoAfrodisiac @WearYourVoice @BlackYouthProj First the review title 'The manufactured inequality of #Us was our entry point as a storytelling platform for Black digital humanities/popculture studies interested in reclaiming creative/cultural capital thru the sociological lens of race, gender, labor, tech, theater & theology
@JordanPeele @NotYoAfrodisiac @WearYourVoice @BlackYouthProj When we read the phrase 'manufactured inequality' this got our sociological spidey senses. We saw parallels between #UsMovie referencing hands across america as toxic capitalism/disparity cited extensively (especially re: redlining & 'Life beneath NYC') by @NotYoAfrodisiac review

Today DPS came through and invested in all these teacher leaders in the form of providing time, stipends (gasp), instructional and research support, technology (Swivl cams are a little scary to me) and a Skype call from @Ready4rigor herself.
We are part of a cohort of Culturally Responsive Teaching Fellows tasked with conducting research and spreading best practices for CRT throughout the district.
People say a lot about DPS, but what I can say is I've never worked in a district that hired women of color as part of a Culture and Equity Leadership team and payed them full time salaries to research, develop, and roll out best practices in CRT on a continual basis.
