BREAKING: MORE GOOD NEWS!

The Michigan Senate just passed #HB4616 and #HB4617, protecting LGBTQ young people from the discredited practice of conversion therapy, and affirming every queer youth in Michigan that they deserve to be seen and loved just as they are 🧡🌈 #MILeg

@Chewy Calvin and Hobbes loved ringing in their twelfth birthday with their ##chewygoodybox. Calvin even licked the poster that came with it. 🤣 So fun!

When teachers have no choice in the PD they attend, then the "professional" part of the PD is missing.
So, dear principals, superintendents, and supervisors, give teachers some choice. Develop academic trust. Teachers know what they want to/need to learn more about.
