We need more teachers of color in America because everyone, and I mean everyone, benefits from diversity.

When you're just starting out, becoming active in your union might sound daunting, but getting involved early might be the best thing you can do. We talked to one teacher with 21 years of experience about the importance of early union involvement. 🎧⬇️

I’ve heard this from many early career educators in Montgomery County who can’t afford to live where they teach. Tomorrow we will be talking about issues of pay and other priorities at our Meeting and Mingle. Hope to see you there. See pinned tweet for details. #redfored

[OEA @oregoneducation]

The same is true for so many educators here in Oregon. #orpol #orleg #redfored

@NEAToday @Lily_NEA @TODAYshow We know this plight all to well. Energetic teachers who come in with a passion to make an impact but are deflated by the working conditions they experience. We are on the brink of a hiring crisis if we don’t listen to educators to make the changes our education systems need.

[MCEA New Educator Action Team (NEAT) @mceaNEAT]

We know this all to well! ECE’s we want to know what keeps you going? What are the ups and downs of being a early career educator in Montgomery County? Come share with other ECE’s as we talk about all of this on Wednesday! See pinned tweet for RSVP link.

[NEA @NEAToday]

Did you catch @Lily_NEA on the @Todayshow yesterday? Watch her talk about how a severe lack of funding and support is causing educators to leave the profession in record numbers ⬇️ #RedForEd

[MCEA New Educator Action Team (NEAT) @mceaNEAT]

Thank you to all of our school counselors, working hard to meet students’ needs everyday!

Keys for educators to boost cultural inclusion in the classroom:
✅ Value diversity
✅ Have self-awareness of your own culture
✅ Recognize that students are cultural beings
✅ Implement your knowledge in curricula to represent all students

If some fancy D.C. Political Reporter Person™ who's moderating a Democratic primary debate doesn't ask Cory Booker about his support for Betsy DeVos and vouchers, we might throw a shoe at our TV. https://t.co/DcGkOqICo4
