Teacher retention: if you want to keep the best teachers, treat them like they are the best. Few teachers leave an environment where they feel valued, supported, appreciated, and treated like professionals. This is more important now than ever!

If school districts would take time to ask teachers, if you were to think about leaving, what would it take for you to stay. They would quickly find what they need to focus on to improve teachers working conditions.

I just want to know... What goes through the minds of people in power when they decide to ignore teachers who try to ring the alarm on stuff? Do they just believe teachers are incompetent? Do they think teachers are being malicious? Are they being malicious? Like...what is it?

How can a worker be both essential and unworthy of a living wage?

You know what would really help me as a business owner? Universal health care. The money we pay to subsidize employee health care is astronomical and grows every year. I'll happily pay higher taxes to cut out health insurance companies that make $40 billion a year in profit.

I have a hard time with the way people frame burnout as a "self-care" issue rather than "employee care." It's a systemic issue. Instead of asking, "how can we prevent teacher burnout?" leaders and policymakers should ask, "how do we stop burning teachers out?"

I think everyone could use a lighthearted/happy story right now so here goes: At the beginning of the pandemic I went through some painful personal stuff and would often go out at night for long walks because no one was around and I couldn’t sleep anyway. One night I was walking

Every student deserves to feel safe and welcome in Oregon schools. This summer, I heard from students about how symbols of white supremacy are being used for bullying. I urged the Board of Education to put a stop to it, and I’m pleased that they have taken this action.

A lot of folks acting as if 2020 has just been a string of bewildering bad luck, rather than what it truly is: a concentration of widely and reliably predicted and interconnected disasters that advanced nations of the world could have mitigated or prevented but chose not to.

Last night, the world was watching Portland. Here's what they saw: Federal troops left downtown. Local officials protected free speech. And Oregonians spoke out for Black Lives Matter, racial justice, and police accountability through peaceful, non-violent protest.

The protests downtown last night felt different. Why? It was the first night of protests in nearly three weeks without federal law enforcement officers involved. @_jlevinson and @ryanjhaas report. bit.ly/2EDl6SU

RT if you agree that 30 days of silence from Donald Trump about #BountyGate is 30 days too long. If Putin really has put bounties on our troops, then they need to know that their Commander and Chief has their back. So far, his silence is deafening.

So puzzled that schools can't regulate if students wear a mask but can measure shirt hems, adjudicate whether a top is sleeveless, and judge what is acceptable hair color.

Teachers shouldn't be forced to choose between their lives and their jobs.

Four years of Betsy DeVos is more than enough. We need a Secretary of Education who is actually a public school educator.
