The @usedgov released two new documents to help districts use covid relief funding to address staff and educator shortages. This is welcome guidance as critical shortages get worse. https://t.co/EJH6Q9u0cB and https://t.co/R49th8UNxL

This is a crisis. For our children. Our families. Our educators. Our schools.

Omicron is stretching schools to the breaking point as teachers and staff are absent due to illness, quarantine or needing to care for sick family members. A new @LPI_Learning blog explains how states and districts can tackle the #teachershortage crisis https://t.co/YzDw2p4H6X

"The new variant has quickly led to a surge in cases around the country, creating even more difficulties for already overstretched public schools. A staffing shortage that was bad before omicron could now be catastrophic." From @voxdotcom @annanorthtweets https://t.co/vo34EGlMeC

Today @SenJackReed and @RepAdams introduced the Educators for America Act, which will address the critical shortage of educators and the lack of diversity in the education field by investing in the educator pipeline.

A new survey from @NASSP found COVID has drastically impacted principals. Principals are working harder, working longer hours, and having a harder time doing their job than ever before. #EdChat More results at: https://t.co/NH6oV5sHb0

From the 2019 National Teacher of the Year

[2019 National Teacher of the Year @RodRobinsonRVA]

The teacher shortage was a problem before the pandemic. Now it’s a national emergency that requires all levels of government to take action immediately. This is not sustainable. The system will collapse and we know who will be left behind.

[Danny Carlson @dannydcarlson]

HUGE! New framework includes educator pipeline funding! $112M for GYO programs, $112.2M for residencies, $112.2M for principals, $112.2M for Hawkins, $160.77M for IDEA, and $200M for prep/PD, etc for Nat Amer language teachers (this is new!).

Was not clear these would make it.

The work principals do matters tremendously. In his message, @SecCardona recognizes the nation's principals during #NationalPrincipalsMonth

[U.S. Department of Education @usedgov]

The role of a principal can sometimes be challenging, but as @SecCardona shares, principals play an important role in motivating their school communities, building trust with parents, and fostering a true love of learning among their students. Happy #NationalPrincipalsMonth!

Shortages of educators of color, special educators, and educators in high-need schools and subjects are longstanding problems that the pandemic has exacerbated. Rep. Wilson led a call for funding in the Build Back Better Act to address these challenges. https://t.co/mcBkRyBmSP

[Coalition for Teaching Quality @educatorsforall]

Given the challenges our students face as we recover from the pandemic, these investments are more important now than ever before. Many thanks to @RepWilson

[Dr. Kaitlyn Brennan @brennan_kait]

Congresswoman Wilson and 12 of her colleagues called for funding in the Build Back Better Act to address critical educator shortages so that “all students have access to well-prepared and effective teachers and school leaders.” @educatorsforall

[Coalition for Teaching Quality @educatorsforall]

Our hearts burst with joy watching this video. These teachers, and countless others, and the students they serve are why we advocate for critical investments in the education workforce.

[The White House 46 Archived @WhiteHouse46]

This week at the White House, we celebrated the incredible achievements, sacrifices, and talents of teachers from across the country. To the 2020 and 2021 Teachers of the Year – and to all teachers: thank you for everything you do.

[Coalition for Teaching Quality @educatorsforall]

Congresswoman Wilson and 12 of her colleagues call for inclusion of educator workforce investments in Build Back Better so "all students experience the substantial and proven benefits associated with a diverse, well-prepared, and stable educator workforce" https://t.co/mcBkRyBmSP

[Coalition for Teaching Quality @educatorsforall]

It seems like every day there's another article about staff shortages in our schools. How can we help students recover from the effects of the pandemic in these conditions? We need federal investments in the educator workforce. https://t.co/FfpcdXh0Hi
