Jim Williams: If you like weekends, thank a union. If you like 8-hr days, thank a union. If you like 40-hr work weeks, thank a union. That's not just a cute meme, it's true. #UnionStrong @jimwilliamsUSW8599 @steelworkers #1u

Chris Christie has a history of bullying teachers. No surprise he went after me tonight. Failing Presidential candidates seem to name check me regularly these days. I’ll keep focusing on #RealSolutionsForKids . I invite all to reject their culture wars & focus on solutions. aft.org/realsolutions

one thing I really like about the readinguniverse.org framework. It clearly outlines the importance of language comprehension. EL teacher’s skills in developing language and comprehension are crucial in completing the reading success formula. @AFTteach @ColorinColorado
