Former #ssteacher take: There are so many great #resources and programs out there to help teachers w/ civics. We we have is a breakdown of #society & really a huge issue w/ how ppl & communities value teachers & schooling. What we really need is #time. We must STOP overwhelming@TNTP
#newteachers. We can NO LONGER assign 5 preps to teachers and expect good #practice. We are reaping what we sew. Lets face facts. We have 50% of teachers #leaving the profession by year 5. This is like #fastfood numbers. We have schools who have been told by #policyand #government that test scores matter in ELA/ Math/ Science (only). We ask overwhelmed #elementary teachers to teach EVERYTHING. We want schools to do #everything from #SEL to #DEI & make sure that children, who almost 40% live in poverty are #proficient on tests developed by companies that are paid $millions to create #psychometric tests on #learning. Yet when we try as a profession to do #PBL or #experiential learning, there is no budget. We want our schools to do everything when #resources via taxes have plummeted in the past 30 years and now, with the #economy, everyone needs a #sidehistle & #gigeconomy jobs. Young Teachers cannot afford to live, pay back #studentloans & folks who are #thinkingabout teaching question why they should be publicly abused #humiliated and treated like garbage. hear of #crisis in education recruiting, drops in #enrollment in ed programs, but I DO NOT BLAME #GRADUATES Our very soul as a nation is in jeopardy, & so-called leaders are #tellingtales & creating #falsenarratives. We MUST #changethenarrative b/c #thesystemisbroken. #Edleaders #goinvtleaders folks, demand #change Demand an #end. Stop the #abuse We have so much #waste! So many teachers w/ certification cannot find jobs. Really questionable people are #hired into systems. So many resources are purchased yet never used. So many children are #tossed away. WE must #dobetter! Comments are closed.
