Senior Fellow, Ed Policy @NewAmerica; libraries, digital & edu equity, sci of learning. #MediaMentors. Find me at https://t.co/hmdeGfxp3Q

Joined March 2008
I'm happy to have had the opportunity to research & write this series (and not only because it zooms in on Virginia, where I've lived nearly my whole life.) But also because it is ultimately a good-news story at a time when good news in #education is hard to come by.
🆕 Today, we released a 2-part series about an open educational resource (OER) called the Woodson Collaborative. Author @LisaGuernsey describes it as a model for providing accurate, accessible, and relevant materials for teaching African American history.

It is inspiring to read Natasha Tarpley's words here in @NewAmerica's magazine. And I'm excited to see her new work, such as her children’s mystery podcast, Opal Watson: Private Eye, which featured an 11-year-old African American girl detective.
#LSX Fellow Natasha Tarpley sheds light on how authors of children’s books, especially authors of color, navigate the political and social climates created by book bans, in a new Q&A with @NewAmerica's The Thread.

Big congratulations to our @LSXfellowship Fellow Andrea Goldin @AndreGoldin for winning 1st place in this book competition, with her book (in Spanish): Neuroscience at the school. A friendly guide (and without blah blah) to understand how the brain works during learning. Huge!

Couldn't agree more @dintersmith. The critical role that librarians & #mediamentors play becomes more apparent every day. They can help youth and parents select & filter what they see and read, online or off, in customized ways. So distressing to see libraries now being defunded.

@leonardnfleming Thank you & @DCNewsNow for the interview with Virginia's Gov. Youngkin on November 18. However the video doesn't show after the ad and does not appear to be available. Is it possible to restore the video or provide a transcript?
