“In just ten years, new teacher certifications have plummeted from over 16,000 in 2012-13 to just over 4,000 in 2021-22.”

In Harrisburg today with Teach Plus PA to address the teacher shortage in PA and the importance of creating culturally affirming schools. A guide I co-authored for districts as they roll out the CRSE comps has also been published! BASD Jack Silva Joseph Roy (Parody)

I hate when politicians and public figures refer to teaching as “a calling” or a “vocation” when thanking us for our service. I’m not a priest who lives mortgage and car payment free. Pay teachers a fair wage and foster a healthy working environment. This isn’t charity work.

Very excited to be facilitating a workshop at the Pennsylvania Educator Diversity Consortium (PEDC) summit next Wednesday on the guide I helped to create for the PA Culturally Relevant and Sustaining Competencies with Fatim and my other Teach Plus PA colleagues.

I am honored to be speaking at the Pennsylvania Educator Diversity Consortium (PEDC) Summit on the new PA Culturally Relevant and Sustaining Education Competencies. There are SO MANY great sessions over the three days of the summit. Scan the QR code to register.

Could not be more excited for this group of guys. The Wanderers are NORCO Legion Champions, a team made up of predominantly BASD student athletes. It is an honor to be their coach. You made the city of Bethlehem proud. Now onto regionals!

I am honored to have a chapter of mine included in this important collection published by Columbia University’s Teachers College Press. If you know anyone in the field of English education who might benefit, please suggest the title! BASD Jack Silva @JosephRoy2023 Teach Plus PA

Coming in December! I’m so excited to share this important work! Routledge Books BASD

TOMORROW: What do students, parents, and educators think are the most pressing issues facing our public schools as we enter a new school year? Join Teach Plus PA for a Back-to-School panel on Tuesday, October 17th at 7 PM ET. Register: teachplus.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

I was on a panel for Teach Plus PA last night. What an honor to have my book referenced alongside the great @BLoveSoulPower.

I am so grateful to have been honored tonight before Liberty’s football game. Senior student leaders across the school chose the teacher who has inspired them the most in their K-12 education in the BASD. Nights like these are so special to me. BASD

I am honored! Thank you @CPEDEdD! BASD

My book from Routledge Books will be released tomorrow. I cannot thank my friend and invaluable mentor in the field, Samuel Jaye Tanner, for this kind review.
