@OhioEA This has been a brutal year for attacks on education

@AMLE @ohioctm @Ohio_Middle @OhioEA @professorteds @ayse_math_ed #middleschool #Mathematics Testimony on Sub HB33 proposing to ELIMINATE middle childhood specialization/teacher licensure continues today - glad to have National Assoc of Prof of Middle-Level Ed join the effort!

@ayse_math_ed #TeacherEducation #MathEducation @professorteds @ohioctm @AMLE Change to teacher license "snuck" into OH Budget Bill (HB33; ln 41664) PASSED the House - ELIMINATES MIDDLE & makes ELEM Ed PK-8: https://t.co/QY3frhICtV Should a 2nd Grade teacher teach 8th Grade??

Change to teacher license was "snuck" into Ohio Budget Bill (HB33 House Lines 41664-41669) & PASSED the House - this change would ELIMINATE specialized teacher prep for middle school & expand elementary to PK-8: https://t.co/7dwXJqRcjV
Should a 2nd Grade teacher teach 8th Grade??

@EmilyMorganNTYS @TheresaUdziela THIS is an excellent question! Thoughts???

[Nicole B. Whitaker, PhD @nbwhitaker6]

@glostesd Could this be a result of how American education defines achievement? Who gets to decide what qualifies as "learning" or "knowledge"? Is "learning" and "knowledge" the same for all students in an educational system?

An EXCELLENT resource to have on hand as we re-enter the classrooms for the 2021-2022 academic year! The next time you find yourself saying "that student is lazy" STOP and us the "5 Why's" to get at the root problem and support academic success!
