Coming Soon Thank you for giving Hosier educators such a strong and amazing voice! #amazinghoosiers

Coming Soon Absolutely. I think each state could determine whether it is safe or not. I don’t see why school openings can’t be delayed. This is temporary. The children and staff will not be safe. What is there to think about? #backtoschool2020

Coming Soon Something not being talked about: mental health & the challenges kids will bring with them into the classroom. Fear from their parents & news, racial concerns—so much has changed in just 4 months. Teachers need help & guidance about how to meet basic needs (Maslow) of students!

How about using Gov Worforce Cabinet $$ to incentivize local tutoring to assist w/ remote learning & learning gaps? Outcomes: 1) assist & targets local economy 2) fills academic needs 3) assist w/ childcare needs 4) provide an option for Grad Pathways 5) ... 🤷🏼‍♀️

Federal bullying w/ $ threats does not open classrooms, but does open room for frustration, decreased opportunities, parent confusion, & dangerous decision-making. Instead focus:1) extending USDA waivers for meals 2) testing waivers 3) adequate COVID $ 4) erate $/expansion 5)...

Coming Soon It is so obvious, but obviously needs to be said out loud in these days. Thank you for speaking up over and over.

Spare the euphemisms. Disabled is not an epithet.

Being an effective teacher is not about being nice, having the right personality, having good relationships with students, having a positive attitude, or even loving the kids. It’s about ensuring students learn at high levels. We can’t ever forget that. It’s about the learning.

We are “crisis teaching.” There is no formula, algorithm, or roadmaps for our schools, educators, students, and families in this time!!! We need to be gentle with each other!!!

This student has been working with EGTI staff on completing practice job applications to prepare for finding employment after graduation! #EGTIWeeklyUpdate

Social-emotional learning is not a destination to be arrived at. It's a recursive process where both students & adults must relearn & apply the skills we develop across multiple settings w/ in a variety of contexts. Our goal should be daily personal growth. #SEL #lifelonglearning

As Prime Day begins, scroll to see how many teachers have posted #clearthelist wishlists w/ materials like scissors, pencil grips, tissues, etc. and ask yourself how we have normalized spending millions on standardized testing while teachers BEG for the basics for students (1/2)

.Senator Todd Young is so cocky about his reelection, he wont even communicate w/ McDermott for Indiana about a debate. Whoever heard of a US Senate race without a debate? He helped orchestrate the overturning of #RoeVsWade, yet thinks he doesn’t need to answer Q’s from #Hoosier constituents?

Addressing the teacher shortage shouldn't involve lowering criteria to be a teacher--it should involve supporting teachers, paying them, and providing the resources needed to best serve students.
