This blog on Texas education contains posts on accountability, testing, K-12 education, postsecondary educational attainment, dropouts, bilingual education, immigration, school finance, environmental issues, Ethnic Studies at state and national levels.

Movement & Identity
I hope that as we re-invent school and imagine what it can and should be past COVID, that it involves not only much more movement such as through physical education, theater, music, and dance, but also to a deeper sense of movement like what this video offers. We are all a part of nature and nature is in perpetual motion and migration. Outside of our bodies, and inside, as well.
Social movements are also about—and cannot happen without—moving to consist not solely of marches and protests, but also partnerships, collaborations, and collective action.
Thanks to Maestro Carlos Aceves of the Xinachtli project for sharing. Listening to this just now was calming and soothing.
Gracias!
