Holiday Break News Roundup - Passing Period #55

This Week: If you understood the assignment, you’re on break right now, spending time with loved ones, not checking work email, silencing your alerts, and just relaxing. And, we got you covered with an AOTA special passing period this week, a holiday news roundup. A lot has been happening, even while most schools around the nation are closed. The anti CRT madness is working to ban books in TX libraries, one Joseph Robinette Biden extends the “pause” on student loan payments to May 1st, CA says it will be giving free at-home COVID tests to every kid, and many UCs and CSU campuses will be starting remotely in January to prepare for a likely post holiday omicron wave, and requiring boosters. Ready? Let’s do this. Get your All of the Above swag, including your own “Teach the Truth” shirt! In this moment of relentless attacks on teaching truth in the classroom, we got you covered. https://all-of-the-above-store.creator-spring.com Passing Period is an AOTA Podcast extra that gives us a chance to check-in, reflect, and discuss powerful stories in between our full episodes.
