Quit taking your best teachers out of the classroom and making them “instructional coaches.” This is like taking Shohei Ohtani and making him the hitting coach.

Truth...
Job creep occurs often with teachers. What is ‘job creep’ you ask? 𝐉𝐨𝐛 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐩 is a phenomenon in which employers slowly require increasing amounts of work relative to the normal requirements.

Interviewed a ‘Teacher of the Year’ who left the profession last month. “Why did you resign?” “I was constantly exhausted, overwhelmed, and left feeling unappreciated. Even with strong classroom management, student behavior was unmanageable—and the pay was simply too low.”

We, the #youth, have something to say and we can say it well. We don't just want a seat at the table - we want a say at the table as well. How can the #community make space for #youthvoice? Find out in my TEDx Talk! https://t.co/h5gdw39bcP

This #BHM, we honor Benjamin Mays, “Dean of the Movement,” whose legacy as a #BlackTeacher & mentor helped shape the Civil Rights Movement. As @Morehouse president, he inspired MLK & championed #edu as a tool for justice. His legacy shows that great teachers ignite & inspire. ✊🏾

We continue our #BlackHistoryMonth celebration of Black educators with the legacy of Anna Julia Cooper. A scholar, activist, and one of the first Black women to earn a Ph.D., she championed #edu as a tool for racial & gender equity. Her work continues to inspire generations.

A true hero has taken his final flight. ✈️ Lt. Col. Harry Stewart Jr., one of the last surviving Tuskegee Airman, has passed at 100. He broke barriers and defended a country that denied him equality when he returned home. His legacy soars on. Rest in Power, Lt. Col. Stewart.

When everything around us feels overwhelming, we must not lose sight of the importance of educating our Black youth. @selmekki spoke before the @EdWorkforceCmte about how Black educators are crucial for student success. #WeNeedBlackTeachers

Martin Luther King Jr. knew that we couldn't afford to be disengaged or wait for the perfect "ally" to work with. It's good to have @ccoleiii back bringing #CommonSense to the masses. #MLKWeekend #mlkday2025 WATCH: https://t.co/zqcRIeBhW1

#TheKingCenter presents, ‘Sharing Our History, Shaping Our Future,’ a 2025 Black History Month series. Dr. Maya Angelou once said, “History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.” Of course, not all Black History
