REMINDER TO THE SUPERINTENTENTS & SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS OUT THERE - Regarding that teacher shortage, your future teachers are sitting right in your classrooms. Tap into them and "grow your own." There should be no school in America without a Future Teachers program.
Addressing the teacher shortage shouldn't involve lowering criteria to be a teacher--it should involve supporting teachers, paying them, and providing the resources needed to best serve students.
As we’re planning for the coming school year, it’s time to stop chasing the latest shiny object and do the boring stuff that really makes a difference. #SchoolLeadershipReimagined#LikeABuilder

@CallMeMoprah Any other industry would have considered her experience and adjusted her salary accordingly. Education is stuck in a perpetual “Groundhog Day”! We need to change how we handle everything, but Human Resources needs to be first!!
A 4-day school week for students is perfect for ALL
TEACHERS can use the 5th day to catch up with their insane workload!
STUDENTS can catch up, play, meditate, and/or participate in ANY extra curriculars they’re interested in without the wildness of a minute-to-minute schedule.
