This tweet has passed by my timeline a few times and I have a few noticings and wonderings.

I notice the article is behind the EW paywall. I wonder how many of those who shared had access to the story. https://twitter.com/cgewertz/status/1277685375406706689

I notice this summary paragraph uses the phrase "more likely." I wonder if the survey results actually support that claim.

I notice "some" doesn't mean "yes." I wonder about the editorial decision to make that linguistic leap.

I notice the article doesn't share the actual survey. I wonder if this was a forced answer question. I wonder if the survey defines "textbook." I wonder if teachers who don't use textbooks considered all their curriculum resources.

I wonder how much familiarity the admins have with the content of textbooks. I wonder if teachers experience recency bias and are thinking of the textbooks they're going to adopt in 2021. I wonder how many teachers are in states that mandate textbook adoption.

We know 80% of teachers are White. We know we haven't done nearly enough to teach the history of these United States. I wonder if these data move us closer to that or something else.

In any event, listen to @Jess5th.

I notice today's update does another linguistic leap. I wonder why. https://twitter.com/educationweek/status/1277919883309785088

(And FWIW, when I joined Twitter, my handle was "DataDiva" and a whole bunch of my tweeting was related to the use of data in education, including survey design. This is me scratching that itch.)

Going to add this fantastic thread right here. https://twitter.com/MsKass1/status/1278007097955934214
