I can’t believe that in 2023, even with a teacher shortage, we are still having conversations about teachers being allowed to wear jeans.

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED in 1945 Today we were CIA government agents analyzing declassified government documents asking, “Did Hitler escape in 1945?!” I’ve never had kids been more engaged in reading, writing, and talking about historical documents! PS “I hid the documents” 😆

States DON’T have the money when it comes to paying teachers their worth or providing teachers with adequate supplies… BUT they DO seem to have the money when it comes to arming teachers, buying mics and cameras for every classroom teacher to wear, and testing students.

Teachers should not have to do PD on their own time or at their own expense. It is part of their job to keep getting better. They should be paid for it and they should be given time for it.

You can be frustrated by what's happening to the teaching profession and still find things in your day with students that give you joy.

I can’t believe I have to say this: If you don’t invest more into retaining current teachers instead of recruiting new teachers— the “new” teachers will eventually leave, too.

Starting next school year (2022-23) VCS will be making some exciting changes in our middle schools! These changes include teaming teachers & students to help support the whole child, going to a six-period day, and BRINGING THE FUN BACK to middle schools! https://t.co/AZeGA7z5CY

Students do not come to us in a standardized prepackaged way. Students come in all different shapes & sizes, personalities, backgrounds & experiences - this is what makes them unique & special! We can’t standardize our students or their educational experience & opportunities!
