.@GayleKing spoke with @FLOTUS, and some of the nation’s top educators, about teaching through the pandemic, advocating for their students and the low pay many in their field experience: “Compensation is not fair for our educators.”

Painted play spaces are a wonderful way to engage students and improve their physical activity while on the playground! #oklaed Check out our playbook of recess games for detailed instructions: sde.ok.gov/safe-and-healthy-… Thx to our partner, @UCOBronchos!
The #AmericanFamiliesPlan guarantees pre-k for every student because we know children who attend pre-k are more likely to graduate high school, take the S.A.T., and more likely to enroll in college. Pre-k sets our students up for success from the start. nytimes.com/2021/05/10/brief…

Our earliest experiences shape key neural networks responsible for stress regulation, attachment & more. Early adversity & relational poverty increase risk while attuned, nurturing builds resilience. Strong evidence to support home visiting programs like @HFAatPCA @PCAAmerica

Most of us have experienced various levels of trauma that have informed how we operate and interact in the world, which is why Dr. @BDPerry and I have been working on a book called #WhatHappenedToYou that will be available on April 27.

It is not your fault when you outgrow people who had the chance to GROW with you. You are going to lose people and attract new ones that have similar visions as you. RETWEET with "GROWTH" if you agree!

“The governor, in choosing to replace board members as they move away from his point of view, is not using the Board of Education as a tool to advise or provide oversight to our education system. He is using it to undermine the authority of the elected state superintendent.” – at Norman, OK
Some of our members joined a few of their @OKSenateDems colleagues to oppose Gov. Kevin Stitt's latest State School Board appointment. More from @MaryBorenSD16, @EmilyVirginOK, @hicks4ok and @proven4oklahoma here: bit.ly/33I42F6

The First Lady of the United States is a teacher, one who, as Second Lady, never stopped teaching. She intends to be the first FLOTUS in the role's 231-year history to pursue her career and keep a paying job while living in the White House. This matters.

When seeing educators doing amazing things online-sometimes rather than celebrate their success we get wrapped up in professional jealousy (PJ). PJ is a real thing and it drags you down & stresses you out. Guard your heart. Celebrate the talents of others, as well as your own.
