@derekischmitz @irasocol That is so awesome! It is not an easy job, especially when you are advocating for yourself. I hope that you feel supported by your parents and teachers!
We talk a lot about what schools and educators need to do to increase achievement, but very little about what students, families, the community, and society needs to do.
The responsibility must be shared.
We have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to reimagine education for every student in the country. Our cue must come from local communities so we can make sure every student gets their specific needs met. It’s not impossible if we work together.
Our team of Union organizers are in place and ready to facilitate our 1st Virtual VEA Summit on “Racial & Social Justice and Our Schools.” Welcome to all our members who are attending today!

I’m supporting Joe Biden for president because he’ll be a steadfast advocate for our nation’s public school students and educators.
Will you pledge to support Joe, too? https://t.co/F7yG4M5ncv

The reality is no one should listen to Donald Trump or Betsy DeVos when it comes to what is best for students. They have zero credibility for how to best support students, and how to re-open classrooms safely.

@Ready4rigor A6 for me it is about understanding myself as a teacher and how I interact with others - not just the strategies I use. Who I am as a teacher and as a person are constantly being changed by the experiences I have so it is always a journey and not just my toolbox.
