When books are banned, it restricts information and discourages freedom of thought. It also undermines one of the primary functions of education: teaching students how to think for themselves. Let's celebrate the freedom to read! πŸ“š #WeAreNJEA #BannedBooksWeek

Teaching is the profession that makes all other professions possible – give teachers a raise.

1. Relationships over rules. 2. Check yourself on the assumptions you make about your students. Their lived experiences may be unimaginable to you. 3. You’re going to make a lot of mistakes. That’s part of learning as an educator. Don’t beat yourself upβ€”just keep at it.
WELCOME TO THE SUMMER OF #SATCHAT Our Question of the Day: As we near a new school year what advice would you give a brand new teacher on starting his/her career and on working with students? Please respond, retweet, like & keep the convo going all day.

4. Join your local association & get involved. (In NJ consider local/county/state/national) 5. Cultivate your PLN with folks who help you grow. 6. However you can, schedule time for your loved ones & activities that recharge you. 7. Welcome those who come into your classroom.

Educators, I am here to acknowledge that we, as a country, owe you. We owe you better working conditions, pay, and respect.

I’m approaching half a century of being a human in this world. (It’s coming fast.) I think the most important thing I’ve learned, so far, is to KEEP LEARNING and never assumed you’ve figured it all out. You haven’t. And neither have I. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Teachers should not have to spend their own money on school supplies or other things for their students, but 94% of us do. And to add insult to injury, we can only write off up to $300 on our taxes because we all know it’s the educators who take advantage of the tax system.
