Trump appears to be skipping a side-event at the G20 virtual summit focused on pandemic preparedness. The President has just arrived at his golf course in Virginia. https://t.co/4045RD0SQj
Behind Betsy DeVos, on her bookshelf, is every book she has ever read on education, teaching methodology, how to dismantle racism in schools and the books she has authored about her experience as an educator.
Mr. President, the last thing our students and educators need is to be threatened. We need your support. We need YOU to fund, support, and trust our professional opinions. Mr. President, we need your leadership. We want to return to school, but safely prepared. Thank you.
Tomorrow is #FaceLiftFridays!We have no idea what kids have faced before they arrive at school each day. Every kid deserves a reset so they can reach their fullest potential. What will YOU do to make every kid smile the moment they arrive at school? Make it happen. #KidsDeserveIt
Lots of kids come to school with their invisible backpacks, weighted with struggles.
Stress, worry, fear, anxiety, trauma, lack of physical needs, loneliness, anger, sadness, & hopelessness can make them so heavy; too heavy for learning to happen.
Notice & love them instead.
@DavidN_Cahn@hechternacht@SwailesRuth@thepetitioner@juliangrenier @IamLauraHenry In a perfect world... there would be an up slide and a down slide!

Most of what is true of the kids in the school… is also true of the adults. We all feel insecure at times. We all want to be noticed. We all hope to be successful. We all have been hurt by the unkind words of others. We all work harder when friends encourage us.

Teacher morale has 'reached a tipping point.’ Last year only 50% were optimistic. Now only 1 in 3. 96% believe students need more social & emotional support. Only 1 in 4 think students are getting support they need to be successful. https://t.co/xNk4Ooh1eB
