There’s a growing problem when concerns from teachers and support staff go unanswered or they are simply passed around without real solutions. That kind of leadership drives people out of schools. Florida is already struggling to retain educators and support staff. When voices aren’t heard and issues aren’t addressed, it only makes things worse. Accountability matters, and so does follow-through from leadership like Diane Kornegay and Lake County Schools. @lakeschools @lakeschools #SupportStaff #TeacherRetention #EducationMatters #ListenToEducators #SchoolsNeedSupport #ValueAllStaff #StrongerSchools

This is my classroom on the campaign trail. Educators know what our schools need. I value these conversations and the chance to listen and learn. If you want solutions, go to the people doing the work. #SwansonForMichigan #Education #ListenToEducators

Congratulations to @NSEAOnline member @voteNatha for being named Assistant Majority Whip! #ListenToEducators #nvleg

The Andover School Commitee can settle this today by stopping the games and bargaining with us! Our instructional assistants deserve a living wage, and our students and staff deserve to have appropriate investments in their schools! #listentoeducators #faircontractnow

“Andover students and educators deserve to be treated as human beings, not data points.” #listentoeducators #educator @massteacher #EducationMatters

In related news, I invite the P&C editorial board to watch “Don’t Look Up,” read Agamemnon, news from FL & other states where this preceded SC, &, most importantly, to actually #ListenToEducators. (7/ )

Seriously. The Post & Courier editorial board exacerbates the problem of leaders who don’t #ListenToEducators by promoting the myth that legislators who’ve never worked in schools know better than the workers there every damn day. The piece about @scfored was bullshit.

Sending love and gratitude to legislators like @RepWetmore, @Dr_JLJohnson, @JustinBamberg, @RKirbySC, @reprussellott & more in @SCHouseDems who #ListenToEducators & refuse to quit on our kids. Thank you for fighting for Public Schools and against private school voucher schemes!

Educators shouldn’t have to guess what they are and aren’t allowed to teach under penalty of the law. H.3728’s lack of clarity on what is deemed “fact-based” and “controversial” will only lead to confusion, bias, and an arbitrary implementation of the law. #ListenToEducators

1. Educators are experts—they know how policy impacts their work, their profession, & their students. 2. Bills with same & similar language have passed elsewhere. What happens next is clear. 3. When educators tell you what they need to stay in the classroom, #listentoeducators.

Join us LIVE tomorrow at 5:30 pm at facebook.com/TheSCEA as we share our Legislative Agenda and discuss how we can unite to fight for public education and move issues that matter to educators & our students! #ListenToEducators

Representative Kimberly Johnson gets an “A” for her record on public education. She always goes out of her way to #ListenToEducators & do what’s right for all students. Thanks, @Johnson4SCHouse!

Don't miss out on our discussion about defending our public schools tonight with Fairfield Superintendent Dr. J.R. Green at 7 p.m.! #ListenToEducators fb.me/e/3lafDuW7j

To give all children the learning conditions they deserve in fully staffed schools, we must #ListenToEducators and improve working conditions.

We are so grateful to Ms. Strickland, @TheSCEA representative on the committee. It is important to #ListenToEducators to make an effective commitment to reversing the educator and staff shortage crisis.

ICYMI: Because the work session on this important matter is being rushed through during our contract hours this morning, please see NEA-SN's statement to the CCSD Board of Trustees. #ListenToEducators #RespectEducators
