I had a sign in my class that said “let the journey begin”. The journey of being an educator & empowering educators is my life’s purpose. At the start of this admin we had 0 states with paid teacher apprenticeships, now with hard work, we’ve expanded to 34 states & Puerto Rico.
Give educators the professional pay that they deserve.
If we value education, we must also value educators.
