Today, I am directing every state to prioritize educators for vaccination. We want every educator, school staff member, and child-care worker to receive at least one shot by the end of this month.
It’s time to treat in-person learning like the essential service that it is.
The calls by the MA Dept. of Ed to return to in-person learning across the state by April should be matched by efforts to ensure teachers and staff get the one dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine shot in March. #mapoli
Educators stepped up during this pandemic.
You adapted lessons and counseled students who were filled with anxiety.
Because of you, I have never been more proud to be an educator.
Amy Coney Barrett should be asked directly: Did Trump discuss your loyalty with regard to the election? If she deflects, prevaricates or refuses to say, then the answer is yes.
It’s not enough to just go back to the way things were before these crises — we need to build back better than ever. We have to create a new American economy where everyone gets a fair return for their work and an equal chance to get ahead.
Striking dynamic unfolding now: growing numbers of public school systems are announcing full remote learning in fall, even for lower grades.
Meanwhile, private schools are planning 5 days/wk in school for at least the elementary grades.
It's gonna make for quite a contrast...
60 years ago my great uncle, President John F. Kennedy, spoke of the need for a New Frontier.
As his words ring as true today as they did then, I’m deeply grateful to @SupJaniceHahn for amplifying his speech today at the @lacoliseum.
I understand the equity-based case for making online instruction asynchronous, but this greatly complicates collaboration, exploration, and student-centered learning, locking in a model of teaching that's only about "delivering content" - a chilling phrase if ever there was one.
Make no mistake: COVID-19 has caused a massive economic challenge. But this crisis hit us harder, and will last longer, because Donald Trump spent the last three years undermining the core pillars of our economic strength.
NEW: In a secret recording, Sen. Richard Burr is heard 3 weeks ago warning a group of well-connected constituents to prepare for dire effects of the coronavirus.
The remarks were much starker than any Burr had delivered in public at the time.
