If a child is not reading proficiently by 3rd grade, they are four times more likely to drop out of high school (source: Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy). SPEF wants to prevent this by giving children new, free books to encourage reading. 💙 #SPEF #EducateAndEmpower

We talk about innovation and creativity in education, but the reality is compliance is often the expectation and what is rewarded for admin, teachers, and students.

So it works! I picked up a mirror compact at Target this afternoon. Taped it onto my laptop. Hung it over the front camera. Now I have a document camera!

Despite a $14 million budget surplus, Stamford officials are planning to cut the education budget and are asking teachers for concessions and pay freezes or they will eliminate positions and resources and increase class sizes.

So simple but so true! During this time ONLY focus on what YOU can control and be a support to others during this time. As educators, we need to use this time to focus on SEL learning and students needs! Be the change you want to see! #IronsharpensIron #COVID19 #SELReset

Teachers at Toquam Magnet Elementary School say the mold in the classrooms is negatively impacting their health. Many say they are worried about the long term health risks the mold poses on them and their students.

My 10-Year Challenge:
The Average Teacher’s Salary in 2009: $54,319
The Average Teacher’s Salary in 2019: $57,439
That’s an increase of $3,120 over 10 years. Based on the current inflation rate ($1.20 or 1.76%) it should be $65,158.

Sandy Hook happened 6 years ago and we can’t even get the Senate to hold a vote on universal background checks w/ #HR8.
Christchurch happened, and within days New Zealand acted to get weapons of war out of the consumer market.
This is what leadership looks like ⬇️
