Veteran educator @RachelJTeaches explains “Why I Keep Teaching”: edut.to/4dPR75D
ALT “Teaching is ultimately an act of hope. Every time I teach a lesson, I hope it will inspire learning. Every time I intervene with a struggling student, I hope it will change the trajectory of their path. The temptation to fall into cynicism is alive and well in education. However, hope is a choice I make every day.” —Rachel Jorgensen, Educator

So it is no surprise to me that so many NEA retired members continue to be tirelessly engaged. And it is why I am so thrilled to see you all at your conference today!

“The No. 1 reason teachers leave the profession is the pay. The No. 1 reason parents don’t want their children to become teachers is the pay. So, the No. 1 solution...must be increasing teacher salaries.” —John Arthur, 6th grade teacher and @myUEA member
