Martin Short, @davidalangrier, @ShaniaTwain, and more will be joining the cast of #BeautyAndTheBeast30th, airing December 15 on ABC!' ABC Network tweeted out an announcement for the special as well, writing, 'Ready for an adventure in the great wide?

She wrote to her fans: 'I am unbelievably honoured... and all of the emotions(!!) to announce that I will be joining the cast of #BeautyAndTheBeast30th to play the part of my favourite character - Mrs.

Potts.'

Apparently we should all be kicking off Wordle with the word "roate." Honestly, read this whole article, it's great. I just finished reading a fascinating piece by Tyler Glaiel, a programmer and game designer who tried to figure out the best possible starting word.

From labor alone, they figured, the gains would add up to $22.9 trillion over the thirty years from 1990 to 2019, with bigger gains in more recent years as the share of non-white populations has increased while the gaps have remained fairly steady.

Or you can try for performance and guess the word of the day in three, two or even one go. Then you get one chance to put those hints to use. You can enter a total of six words, meaning you can enter five burner words from which you can learn hints about the letters and their placements.

Daly and her co-authors calculated what the gains to GDP would be if those and other race-based gaps were erased: if Black and Hispanic men and women held jobs at the same rates as whites, if they completed college at the same rates as whites, and if they earned the same as whites.

School districts usually try to pay special ed, STEM or English learner teachers a little bit more because those professionals are harder to recruit, said Sasha Pudelski, director of advocacy at AASA, the School Superintendents Association. But sometimes salary negotiations are constrained by other factors, including union negotiations around salary schedules.

"You're trying to attract people who have been able to do well enough in math and science classes to teach, but those are folks that outside of teaching have good labor market opportunities." Goldhaber advocates for increasing pay at the beginning of teachers' careers, where retention rates are low, free math sheets and for people with STEM training.

Some will be for the better, others will be more challenging. Pope highlighted one that might be the least popular among students. It's clear that the pandemic will continue to change and evolve a lot of things for both teachers and students.

The paper was written with Shelby Buckman, a graduate student at Stanford University, Boston University post-grad Lily Seitelman, and San Francisco Fed vice president of community development Laura Choi.

"And yet we know so many kids are not able to connect … Some kids have not been able to connect at all and teachers have been searching for them, been making phone calls, sending letters. That's a population that we're very worried about. We need them to come back to school and we need to deal with all the learning they missed." 

Avoid reusing grays: There's a keyboard at the bottom of the Wordle board that shows what letters are green, yellow and gray. But it can take time and effort to think of five-letter words that don't use letters you've already tried. Yes, this sounds obvious. Avoid reusing letters that have come up gray. That effort will pay off.

That's an example of something that could continue after the pandemic. Teachers have also accelerated their use of other technologies like Zoom for video conferencing, Google Docs for collaborative learning and Kahoot for turning online quizzes into games.

Large and persistent gaps in rates of employment, education, and earnings across races "add up to a smaller economic pie for the nation as a whole," Daly said in a briefing ahead of the paper's release Thursday.

The phone will be sold by Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T, as well as online carriers. A variant of the $250 A13 5G launched back in December, it trims connectivity options to drop the price to $190. The only other phone Samsung announced Thursday for the US market is a 4G LTE-only version of the Samsung Galaxy A13.

The Galaxy A53 5G faces stiff competition from the new $429 iPhone SE, which adds 5G connectivity and the same chipset that powers Apple's latest premium iPhone 13 range but has the same big-bezel layout and single rear camera of its predecessors. That could make Samsung's A-series phones more appealing, with more modern phone designs and multiple rear cameras.

And honestly, it's a little more efficient [for the teacher]."  Pope said, "We now have teachers, who instead of grading papers and writing feedback and handing the paper back to a kid, they're making a little video about it, which is really personal and can say a lot more.

The star wore her platinum flecked brunette tresses in a voluminous half-updo as she prepared to film her scenes as the iconic teapot character - who was famously played by Angela Lansbury in the 1991 animated film.
