Louder for the people in the back! 📢📢
To be clear, autonomy doesn't mean letting teachers do whatever they want; instead, it means giving teachers the dignity they deserve and letting them make decisions within the collective pedagogical agreements and vision of the school.

Worker’s voice matters; educator’s voice matters
Our fearless national AFT President, Randi Weingarten reminded us all why our voices matter: “Silence speaks measures; apathy empowers autocrats.” AFT-MA Convention 2023 Educator voices matter! @AFTMass @JeremyShenk @rweingarten @beth_kontos @Lynn01904 @BrianLaPierre

"Any change to building leadership at the high school will lead to further instability and could diminish student outcomes, decrease staff morale and take years to return to making effective progress," @MrsCutone said during the meeting.

This explains, better than I, the OPPORTUNITY that this COVID-19 emergency offers education to advance our work; to question conventional thinking; and to show the critical role that public schools play in our communities. “Where I once saw challenge, I now see opportunity...”
The most effective “remote” teaching will spark learning, not simply cover content. Give your students questions to pursue, not just answers to accept. Give them something to create, not just something to complete. #FutureDriven

Agreed. Let’s not rush this, folks. This is about giving students 2 things they need most right now - structure and connection. The content is SECONDARY! We are NOT recreating the school experience that existed in February - we are adapting it to meet extraordinary circumstances.
Already hearing that student/parent anxiety is escalating with this new eLearning reality. We may be inadvertently making things worse by pouncing with work & trying to rush normalcy. Connect on an emotional level first; the learning will come. #bced #ATAssessment #GFIO

Great community effort today @Holliston_PS. Delicious food served, and delivered, by amazing people. Tomorrow same place Miller Elem.11:30-12:30. Can’t come? Have it delivered email: [email protected]. @HollistonHigh @RAMSHollistonPS @SamPlacentino @FredMillerHPS
Want to know why #TeacherAppreciationWeek should be more than just a hashtag? Massachusetts public schools are in the middle of MCAS, which means teachers are managing student emotional breakdowns, troubleshooting faulty technology, "holding it" for an hour until coverage arrives
