@muttley911@DrP_Principal I would have to agree. This story makes it seem that 1 positive interaction is all it takes to turn a student around. While I do believe this is the right approach, it rarely works this well on the first time.
@mazelgirl@amymiles28 @carlcyndi5 @piper4missouri I’m pretty sure all of your friends with degrees would be complaining if it took them 21 years in their profession to break $50k
I may be naive, but if I was a parent I would trust the person (teacher) who spends 180 days with my child, cares about my child, nurtures my child, and who would take a bullet for my child, and NOT a politician or news pundit who doesn’t do ANY of the things I listed.
@finnick181 @cggarrett4@piper4missouri Yes! Teachers should have a working day (just 20%) of their work week to do all of the tasks that are required to do their job well. Collaboration, data analysis, grading, parent communication, etc. all of that takes TIME and can not be done while teaching students.
Angeli Gomez, the mother of two Robb Elementary School students, was handcuffed by Marshals after urging officers to enter the school during the shooting.
When she was uncuffed, she raced into the school to save her sons — and believes police “could have saved many more lives."
@WilliamPopovich @piper4missouri @Shess1016 That sounds great for NJ. This thread is about MO teachers. We don’t have the salary, pension percentage or lifetime medical that you speak of here.
@Dg814C@EnglishTeach07 We don’t want to end up like Florida—- where veteran teachers only make a few thousand more than starting teachers. What good is attracting people into the education field if they can’t afford to stay in that career?
🇧🇪 The Belgian government has announced a series of labour reforms that look set to transform the way people work.
The major shift is introducing four-day weeks - but that's not all 👇
School/District leaders, if you're not including teachers on the committees that are planning for opening schools in the fall, you're missing a VERY important voice.
