If you are a decision maker in your school district, stop having trainings to ‘help’ teachers build more resilience and perseverance. So insulting! Instead, remove tasks from their already full plate! #EdChat— Fixing Education (@FixingEducation) July 5, 2023

This book serves as a brilliant and accessible introduction to Mad studies and politics (would definitely set it for a module) but it also breaks new ground in its application of a Disability Justice framework to mental illness. Everyone should read it! https://t.co/8GaYOjGgf5— Robert Chapman is they/them (@DrRJChapman) July 5, 2023

This I think also offers the provocation in response to people who say “I go for the networking”: what happens to the networks of the people who can’t go? Should in-person conferences be so important to professional success? https://t.co/hYMWy5Ssdm— Chanda Prescod-Weinstein is tenured now (@IBJIYONGI) July 4, 2023

"This echoes Wilson’s (2015) critique of PBIS: 'by design, students must engage in maladaptive behaviors to get access to additional mental health services' (p. 91). From a trauma-informed perspective, school systems should strive for fewer barriers to mental health services..." https://t.co/SgxqEKNlcF— christienold.bsky.social (@ChristieNold) June 21, 2023

Wow so excited that Rhiannon Kim and my paper on PBIS and trauma-informed education is finally out in Urban Education! We did a close reading of the PBIS website to determine if PBIS can really be called trauma-informed (spoiler: no). https://t.co/ibVohNl0dD pic.twitter.com/yY7Hg0sKdU— Alex Shevrin Venet (@AlexSVenet) June 21, 2023

We engaged with @DrSubini 's Pedagogy of Pathologization to argue that PBIS actually *facilitates* hyper-labeling, hyper-punishment, and hyper-surveillance. @hongwon 's recent chapter on PBIS was perfectly timed as well and influenced our work!— Alex Shevrin Venet (@AlexSVenet) June 21, 2023
