This is WHY we have so many vacancies. New teachers just have zero incentive to stay. To only get a $500 dollar each year raise over your 30 years is ridiculous. I’ve stayed only because I have 3 years until I can retire with full benefits. BUT it’s getting harder each year.

YES!!!
I like this idea!!!!!!
Truth!
The teacher shortage is a myth. What we have is a shortage of people who are willing to be overworked, underpaid and disrespected, all while doing the most important job in the world. 🍎 #nced

We laughed about this for months afterwards.
Teachers, never take for granted a leader who makes you feel supported, encouraged, and appreciated. Let them know you appreciate them too. I have met some amazing ones traveling the globe!
Standardized tests have no place in elementary education. Because testing becomes the focus of education instead of learning. We take away the fun and excitement of learning, playing, exploring, & creating. We create test takers instead of problem solvers and innovators.
Reading upside down at a normal pace. 🙌 #boredteachers #teacherproblems
People who reach the pinnacle of success in any field do so because they maximize their strengths, instead of focusing on their weaknesses.
My main goal in hiring teachers was for them to lead in their role, not to be managed in that role.
Physical Ed., Arts, & other classes don't need literacy standards to be valued. These classes have their own standards and children need to run, create, interact, & be active in these classes, which develop divergent learning. They will also be more effective in other classes.
Maybe if we rename recess and free play as "SEL", creativity, and innovation building time we might realize that they're foundational to learning and not a break from it.
We spend 50% more hours in school than Finland. They get 15 mins of recess every hour. They have NO standardized tests except for PISA in HS and they outperform us every time. When we can’t give students more recess, physical activity & Arts then we don’t understand education.
The very good thing about the Wake County school board finishing the work session so early to go into closed session is that we should have the HR moves earlier than normal tonight. #wcpss
BREAKING: Big news from the NC Supreme Court on Leandro public school funding case today -- a win for NC's students & our future! I have long said that we need a good teacher in every classroom & a strong principal in every school. Today I am grateful that the Court agrees. 1/
The average high school teacher hears their name called 50-75 times a day. The average middle school teacher hears their name called 80-90 times a day. The average elementary school teacher hears their name called 100,000-150,000 times in the FIRST HOUR of school.
We need to address the SEL needs of students FIRST! Even the BEST program, lesson plan or curriculum won’t help if the teacher spends the majority of her day managing behaviors!
I am so tired of educators writing off librarians because they are no longer ‘in the classroom.’ We are leaders of the largest classroom in the building, are instructional partners and resource experts, and are often the expert teachers in the building. #sorrynotsorry
