I don't know who came up with this idea of teaching two cohorts of kids (some in person, socially distanced, some online) simultaneously but it's wrong. It's two jobs. It's not good for kids, and it's not good for teachers.

@TuckerAnthony The most important thing besides the folding is to remember to ask yourself "does this bring me joy?" 🙂 That way you will have less to fold🤷🏾‍♀️ hopefully 🤣

[UFT Teachers Assigned @AssignedUft]

Please stand in solidarity with our colleagues by signing this petition to keep this program in tact as it helps close the achievement gap for our Black and Brown students. The ULit initiative is all about equity and access! https://t.co/mzeC5uVBFu

@HeadLiteracy It truly is Melissa. How fortunate we are to be at schools where the leaders try to build a community. When I hear the struggles of fellow educators who are not as fortunate it really makes me thankful for the leader I have worked for who valued her teams.

[Melissa Allman-Universal Literacy Coach @msallman303]

Nothing breaks my heart more than seeing a toxic leader move up the ladder. Be the change you want to see.
