[Nourish the Future @NourishFuture]

Michigan science teachers want to give a big THANK YOU to the generous sponsors supporting Feeding and Fueling the World, the 2-day professional learning event held this week in East Lansing. @MI_corn @Nationalcorn @Unitedsoy @USDA_NIFA

[Fixing Education @FixingEducation]

Interviewed a teacher who left the profession last year.

Why did you resign?

“I have a Master’s degree.
I work really hard.
I love teaching kids and am great at my job.
I do it all for a disgracefully low salary.
All of that and I’ve never felt so disrespected by so many.”

The bees are working hard this morning outside my classroom. @ROVpalau @SJSHSPanthers @StockCommNews @MichiganFFA
