A great teacher and visionary leader.

You make two solid points here, Michael, including (1) a Master’s degree itself is weakly correlated to #TeacherExcellence and (2) paying teachers more overall would widen and deepen the pool of talented candidates. If I were starting my physics teaching career today, rather than 30 years ago, I would be able to command a near 6-figure salary in select parts of the country and that figure will only increase in the near term. One key point to add here regards the leaders with whom teachers work. Teachers are attracted to schools with world-class leadership…instructionally, organizationally, developmentally, etc. Teachers leave education due to factors that #SchoolLeadership directly controls. If we increase #PrincipalExcellence we will do more to improve the teacher pipeline than exorbitant raises ever could. s4e.com

“We have to be coordinated and share a unified story about what our values are, who is violating those values, and what we can do about it across race and place.” As part of our Communications Institute curriculum, our cohort met with Anika Fassia from We Make The Future & We Make the Future Action to learn about her work in narrative strategy and alignment! 🌱 Anika emphasized the importance of shifting the messages that our communities are hearing so that the seeds of our movement can take root. 💬 While the opposition breeds fear and economic resentment, we must center narratives that can unleash our base. By naming race and class, we can inoculate our communities from the division the opposition tries to sow. 🔊 Anika shared insights from the Texas for All coalition and their narrative alignment strategy across partner organizations in the state. Texans are urged to know their worth as the Race Class Narrative moves a multiracial constituency toward a democracy that works for everyone! This narrative work is so important, and we appreciate Anika and the We Make The Future & We Make the Future Action team for driving this charge!
