The is fantastic news for all of Michigan’s public school retirees, families, and ultimately our students. Now, those with the most experience can re-enter our schools in a variety of capacities to help address staffing shortages.

This is a big win for everyone‼️

Hello Twitter friends. Looking for districts that use a grade level model for AP caseloads rather then an Alpha breakdown? Any leads are appreciated!

[Jay Blaylock Ed.S. @jay_blaylock]

So true. I have had so many great teachers leave for less stress and more money.

Want a nice car?
You have to pay for it.

Want better schools & teachers?
You have to pay for it.

There is no teacher shortage. There's a shortage of willingness to invest the profession with respect & support. There's a shortage in making the jobs appealing.

This is how we keep teachers in education.

[Fixing Education @FixingEducation]

Teachers always appreciate administrators who understand that teachers are professionals who need to be EMPOWERED and SUPPORTED, instead of directed and blamed. #EdChat #Support

@koleszar_matt @GovWhitmer Thank you so much for letting me know!

[Jay Blaylock Ed.S. @jay_blaylock]

Check out @koleszar_matt response when I asked him “Any movement in the 9 month cooling off period for retirees to come back to work?”
Great news!

Salem HS Principal Kim Villarosa knocked it out of the park! Great breakout on Creating an Advisory/ESA Period.

[Jay Blaylock Ed.S. @jay_blaylock]

Love the quote! I am so lucky to have people that I work with that challenge me and allow me to challenge them!

This also reminds me a a key difference between managers and leaders.

[sara wilkie @sewilkie]

I am hugely fortunate to partner with many true and effective leaders…yet those who benefit most from their leadership are the #students ♥️
And yes, it shows. 👍

2024 Madison Morson (MI Anarchy) is athletic & quick! She plays top notch on the ball defense & can handle contact when going to the hoop. Every time I see her play she gets better and better. #TheGrowthIsReal
