Saturday AM math with Pre-K - 12 educators. We unpacked the 8 practices and made connections to @NYCSchools math vision and instructional shifts. We engaged in routines that foster the practices and shifts and shared ways to bring the work to our schools. @UFTTchrCENTER

Reggie Jackson played in Birmingham when he was in the minor leagues back in 1967. In his return to Rickwood Field, he shared his experience with racism and discrimination. "Coming back here is not easy." 🎥 @MLBONFOX

Incredible day filled with learning, reflection and joy with @UFT @UFTTchrCENTER educators @NYCSchools. We know that Ss & educators are more successful when given the time and psychological safety to take risks, voice concerns, reflect and refine. This is how we make progress.

UFT Prez Michael Mulgrew revs up the crowd at the @AFTunion @FirstBook event. Chanting "NYC Reads" and "Let's hear it for books!" He affirmed how blessed educators are to "do what we love," and assured our partners of the union’s continued support.

I had a sign in my class that said “let the journey begin”. The journey of being an educator & empowering educators is my life’s purpose. At the start of this admin we had 0 states with paid teacher apprenticeships, now with hard work, we’ve expanded to 34 states & Puerto Rico.
