Teachers.
They want us to be professional at all times but they refuse to treat us as professionals, pay us a professionals' salary, or seek our professional expertise.

At what point do we demand more, because unless we're fully cared for, we can't fully care for our students.

I am excited to share that I am a finalist for the @goldenapple_il award. I am truly blessed to do what I do, teaching the #MagnaFirsties, as well as working together with their families and my colleagues. The #MagnaFirsties are truly my "why". #teachgolden #D59Learns

[Illinois State Board of Education @ISBEnews]

Read Dr. Ayala's message urging superintendents and principals to prioritize health and safety. We recognize the value of sports in students’ lives - but as COVID-19 cases rise across the state, the importance of following public health guidance has only increased.

[Illinois State Teachers of the Year @ILSTOY]

Congratulations Justin!
