@coleyshannon66 @RepWilson Good teachers will STAY for adequate salaries instead of leaving after 10 years to be able to support their families.

Powerful, finally someone admits the truth.

How about we tie Superintendent Truitt's salary and ability to advance to a second term to NC teacher attrition rates?

She wouldn't be competing against other state superintendents, just against herself.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. #nced #ncpol

You can’t use norm-referenced tools for teacher evaluations THEN say teachers aren’t in competition with each other AND say it’s not merit pay. Yet @CTruittNCDPI continues to say we’re the ones who don’t understand this plan. Cute. #nced #ncpol

There are no “special education students” or “Tier 2” or “Tier 3 students,” and students are never exclusively “yours” or “mine.” Every student in the building is our student first and foremost. #LeadInclusion #EdChat #UDL #UDLchat #Inclusion #EdLeadership

Went to a summer bday party for a student & saw several of my students AND 2 from a gen ed class (last year). I’m so proud of how @GallberryFarm embraces inclusion! #inclusionmatters #sped #autism #family

Some kids have taller mountains to climb than others. We can’t climb the mountains for them, but an awareness of the mountains… reminds us of the importance of our patience and support. Some kids need us to be their cheerleader more than they need us to be their instructor.

🙌 When teachers request that students be pulled from their class, it's often due to fear and needing support. Building capacity in each other is as important as supporting students directly. #LeadInclusion #globaled #inclusion #UDLchat

If banning abortion "stops abortions," let's ban guns and stop gun violence.

@BeeannaStington @RaeTurtle I found this comment doing a search... I'm an elementary autism & my 5th grader has been trying to collect all the Tiny TV's since Oct. He hasn't been able to find Star Trek and just discovered Jaws & Jurassic Park. We would do anything to be able to purchase these! @basicfuntoys

@citizenstewart @brendalina57 @live4literacy @palan57 The entire year revolves around that “once a year” test - starting with beginning of year tests to gather baseline data. Then tests after each standard is taught (only for state tested subjects). Midyear & Benchmark tests. Everything is analyzed to predict year end test scores

@AnalyticsEqv @SenatorClark @kdeviere @NC_Governor THANK YOU @SenatorDeviere and @SenatorClark ! I’m not a Republican but I agree it is time to unmask. Vaccines are available and the virus has changed, so must our approach. Self-harm and suicide among students is more dangerous than Covid at this point.

[Justin Tarte @justintarte]

The attitudes of the adults in a school quickly become the attitudes of the students.

Never forget that attitude is highly contagious.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

Truth bomb dropped on CBS this weekend about our complete and total covid failures when it comes to kids. Absolutely inexcusable what adults did to kids. Some of us have been saying this for two years. Welcome to the party, pal:
