Transparency doesn't mean sharing every detail.

Transparency means providing the context for the decisions we make.

"Teachers need our support; they need our trust; they need to have the freedom to exercise their professional judgment. And that freedom includes the freedom to decide what materials best suit their students..." https://t.co/VNy0wy56Fd #NSTA #scied #Teaching
