ISTA demands better from the IDOE after a disappointing webinar on literacy endorsement requirements. Read our full statement on how we're fighting for transparency and meaningful engagement: ista-in.org/ista-statement…
Must read: 👇🏻👇🏻
We had an outstanding time yesterday at Outreach to Teach. We love being able to work with ISTA aspiring educators, members, and staff to make such a difference for a school community. (Somehow, I missed getting a photo of Samantha and Claire together.) @ISTAmembers

Good news from the state legislature!

🚨Urgent Action Needed 🚨 The collective bargaining rights of Indiana's teachers are at risk! Language restricting these vital rights is being considered for inclusion in a conference committee report for an upcoming bill. We need your voice now more than ever! 1/4
A conference committee on HB 1004 also met this morning. The draft conference committee report appears to essentially merge the House passed version of HB 1004 and SB 275, which will provide long term solutions to COLAs and 13th checks, including a 13th check for this year.
A conference committee on HB 1304 met this morning to discuss a final bill. The draft conference committee report has removed the mastery based program altogether. While this language has been removed, it could potentially reappear in another bill's conference committee report.
ISTA members - This is 1304. The collective bargaining language has been removed.
ISTA members - This is 1304. The collective bargaining language has been removed.
The Senate is now hearing HB 1304. Among other items, this bill would establish a mastery-based education program for schools. While the default is to provide collective bargaining rights for teachers under the program, the bill would allow admins to opt-out of bargaining rights.
We are closing out another fabulous NEA Summit with leaders and friends from Indiana and across the country this morning. It's always energizing to be in this space. @ISTAmembers
Good morning from the House Education Committee. Members are holding their last meeting of this session today. There is only one bill on the committee's agenda. SB 282 - Absenteeism and school attendance. There are 15 amendments posted.

Actually that’s a picture of two of the best coaches I had in my life. Obie Mouser my track coach, and Roger Renz my basketball coach. Both had a lot to do with who I am today. Both great men. Maybe not fashion gurus though.

One of the benefits of throwing out a first pitch is that @TarikSkubal caught my pitch and signed the ball. He’s winning the Cy Young this year and that ball will be in my office.
A lot of crazy cool moments since that big win, but honestly, as a life long Tiger die heart. Non cooler then this, sharing with these two awesome young men
