โ€œI donโ€™t shy away from dark topics because Iโ€™d rather have you learn through a fictional story. And youโ€™ll know how to frame it if you experience something similar in real life.โ€ @WriteinBK in response to @ProjectLITComm studentโ€™s question ๐Ÿ’ฏ #projectlitbookclub @ProjectLitAbes

Today, I am directing every state to prioritize educators for vaccination. We want every educator, school staff member, and child-care worker to receive at least one shot by the end of this month. Itโ€™s time to treat in-person learning like the essential service that it is.

The children are falling behind. โŒ The children are living through a pandemic and are resilient โœ… The adults have decided the children are behind based on norms from non-pandemic times.

Read about the concept of a victory board. Similar to a vision board but focuses on achieved goals and dreams. An artifact of accomplishments. Think I'm going to make one this week. Sometimes we can forget all the things we've done. No matter how small, a win is still a win.

Itโ€™s long past time we pay teachers what they deserve. The work they do is of extreme national importance โ€” and their salaries should reflect that.

We will never forget Ruth Bader Ginsburg, U.S. Supreme Court Justice. #RBG was a champion for justice and she cleared the way for gender equality so other women can have a seat at the table. Her legacy will live on. Rest in power ๐Ÿ–ค

Iโ€™ve been working on a resource for students to digitally book taste @projectlitcomm titles! So far there are 43 ๐Ÿ“š featured. The cover takes them to our copy of the book where they can put it on hold. Itโ€™s a way to create equal access for in person and eLearners. โ€“ at Florida, USA

No matter where they're are teaching from, educators are always striving to get the most for their students. Read five stories of teachers who've used DonorsChoose to make learning dreams possible: donorschoose.org/blog/20-yeaโ€ฆ
