@Idofavorzforu @ErinODPhoto One could also argue that using and requiring “outcomes” to be based on standardized testing is a huge problem bc the entire premise as well as multiple steps in the system are built on faulty logic and insufficient funding fueled by systemic racism at various entry points.
@Idofavorzforu @ErinODPhoto The comparison should be about pay in comparison to others with the same level of education. Teachers (at least public school teachers) by and large have to have at least a bachelor’s and often have a master’s degree.
“Here’s what I know about us, VEA. We will not quit. We will not stop. We will teach the truth. We will show up, and we will speak up."
VEA President James J. Fedderman shared some inspiring remarks tonight with our delegates! #VEAConvention22#OurVoiceOurUnion
“What I think most educators need is support. We are changing the world. We don't make problems worse. We are not collectively getting together to indoctrinate students. We are teaching standards. We need support. We need to have a voice,” teacher @tdmercier says #CrossConnection

I double dog dare Donald Trump to sit in a class of 39 sixth graders and breathe that air without any preparation. Congress held hands, sang Kumbaya and threw money at corporations, but they can't fund schools when budgets have fallen off a cliff?
What an inspiring first day of the #NEARA2020! Thousands of teacher leaders from across the country gather together to impact change (even online!). This is my 3rd time as a delegate! Yesterday some special guests stopped by to remind us how important we are☺️! On to day 2!
Help our nation’s students and educators rise together from #COVID19. If you believe in the power of public education, join @NEAToday and add your name to show your support. https://t.co/a1mEinROTM
