Over 90% of Finnish teachers remain in education for entirety of career. We don’t have 90% make it through one year. They also teach 50% less hours with remainder for planning, multiple recesses, autonomy at school level, limited teacher eval's & are treated like professionals!

Kids need consequences from people who love them before they end up with consequences from people who don’t.

In all these cases, the decision to opt out of games was student-driven. I'd say that youth today understand much better than the previous generation the power they have and are not afraid to use it. #vted sevendaysvt.com/vermont/alle…

Students often tell me when they report racism nothing happens. Leaders say it's happening behind the scenes. If people who've endured racism don't feel the antiracism, that means nothing's happening, regardless of what we're doing behind the scenes.

Hearing hirees say “no” to job offers because they are giving up on their house search is a problem recruiters are facing in state and municipal government, nonprofit organizations and businesses. vtdigger.org/2022/08/05/peop…

Well, Desantis said to read the bill and you would see the word “gay” isn’t in there. Looks like FL teachers have read it, and have an interesting take.

School has irrevocably changed. It wasn't working for many kids before, and now, for sure. How can we use this to create more flexible, responsive, dynamic learning experiences that can take place anywhere? School's Out Forever thisamericanlife.org/764/sch…

4. We are in this together. Keep partisanship out. Voting just for self-interest doesn’t help VT. Hoarding in the short run hurts us all in the long run. As you vote in @VSBA #vted elections, vote for public service-oriented candidates who will make your whole community strong.

A 4-day school week for students is perfect for ALL TEACHERS can use the 5th day to catch up with their insane workload! STUDENTS can catch up, play, meditate, and/or participate in ANY extra curriculars they’re interested in without the wildness of a minute-to-minute schedule.

Hospitals are slammed, a generation of grandparents have been lost to this virus, we're overwhelmed by grief & exhaustion from the past 2 years, and our kids still have to run themselves into the ground just to prove they're worthy of a future. We've convinced them of that. 4/6

A classroom library with a diverse cast of characters does not guarantee authentic and diverse representation. As this study indicates, educators must be mindful about the messages and biases texts can send about race and gender over time. edutopia.org/video/discoveri…

✳️The primary purpose of classroom assessment to inform our instruction, not to determine a grade. #LeadInclusion #sblchat #atassessment #tg2chat #masterychat
Instead of straining to hold broken systems together with Band-Aids and a prayer, we encourage school leaders to focus on blazing new paths, write two teacher educators. #EWOpinion edweek.org/leadership/opinio…
