As we face a national teacher shortage, I’m proud to sign legislation to ease this crisis here at home — streamlining a process that acts as a barrier in growing this critical workforce, while ensuring NJ continues to produce the nation's best educators.

@annasellers201 @DrPorcher Anna, I really like that you extended it to not just your students but anyone that enters your classroom for any reason. It needs to remain a safer and more diverse space even with all the outside sources.

[Mrs. I @Ms_Israilov]

@msjade1010 @DrPorcher I agree Jade! It's unfair to make preconceived assumptions about our students and we need to allow them to express who they are as they feel comfortable.

[Mrs. I @Ms_Israilov]

@DrPorcher A2: My responsibility as an educator is to first and foremost address my own subconscious biases to ensure that my classroom is a safer space in which students feel comfortable expressing any experiences with anti-black violence. #teacheredumatters #ELE301 #TCNJEduLions

[Mrs. I @Ms_Israilov]

@kerrickkenna @DrPorcher Mackenna, I love this! We need to open ourselves up to conversations about what we are unaware of so we can keep learning and growing.

[Mrs. I @Ms_Israilov]

@miss_rosofsky @DrPorcher @dr_s_bertrand @aprilbakerbell I totally agree, Chloe! @aprilbakerbell's presentation shed critical light on Black English and how we need to stop pushing our students to conform to "standard English."

[Mrs. I @Ms_Israilov]

@DrPorcher A1: Anti-Blackness is woven into my teaching of course content with the limitation of resources that allow my students to feel a sense of representation and belonging. #teacheredumatters #ELE301 #TCNJEduLions

@BaltzisMs @DrPorcher @dr_s_bertrand @ele301 Hey Elizabeth! Hope you're haveing a great day so far :)

To students, educators and families in Florida—and everywhere—we support who you know yourselves to be.

We say gay. We say trans. We say intersex. We say your names, pronouns, identities and strengths with love.

We say you belong.

Here are 2️⃣2️⃣ things educators can do to support multilingual learners! 🌎

[Mrs. I @Ms_Israilov]

@pramirez2023 @dr_s_bertrand Paola, I think the last step you mentioned is one that should be encouraged more! As educators, it's important to be aware of what's going on not just in our "world" but also nationwide and even globally!

[Mrs. I @Ms_Israilov]

@miss_rosofsky @dr_s_bertrand I love that you mentioned a focus on equity rather than equality because though they sound similar, they look very different! Having difficult conversations in the classroom is crucial at all academic stages!

[Mrs. I @Ms_Israilov]

@MissRetkwa @dr_s_bertrand Yes! Self-reflection is an important process/skill to practice. Not only will it helo you grow as a person but as an educator and have a positive impact on your students

[Mrs. I @Ms_Israilov]

@dr_s_bertrand A4: I'm committed to being open & welcoming of any constructive feedback on my current teaching strategies & using the feedback I receive to properly make adjustments to my teaching in a way that eliminates bias and creates an equitable space for learning. #ELE301 #TCNJEduLions

[Mrs. I @Ms_Israilov]

@MissRetkwa @dr_s_bertrand Shannon, I feel the same way! As long as we are making the effort as their teacher and show them that we see & hear them, there's room for progress and growth!

[Mrs. I @Ms_Israilov]

@miss_rosofsky @dr_s_bertrand Chloe, I totally agree. The reoccurring theme of "teaching of the book" is one that is uninformative & uninspiring.

[Mrs. I @Ms_Israilov]

@dr_s_bertrand A3: What I need from teacher preparation programs in order to effectively teach & support Black & Brown students is the sharing of appropriate resources & strategies & how to use them efficiently in my classroom in a way that supports all students. #ELE301 #TCNJEduLions

[Mrs. I @Ms_Israilov]

@BaltzisMs @dr_s_bertrand I really liked the way you phrased that! The idea of providing mirrors for students is so crucial for their success in the classroom.

[Mrs. I @Ms_Israilov]

@pramirez2023 @dr_s_bertrand Paola, I agree, expectations of our students play a huge role in the growth and development of our students!
