My latest in the The New York Times this morning: New hope for a new year. aft.org/column/new-hop…

Laura Klein and I do this each year, and there is nothing like this activity to boost morale heading into the home stretch. Teachers matter every day! Usually it is a card, but pandemic adjustment = email!

FCTA So glad you enjoyed it!! I tell students that the most underused words in the English language are 'thank you'!

An educator will lead our Department of Education. I am proud to nominate Dr. Miguel Cardona to ensure our teachers are taken care of, and our children have an opportunity to thrive.

The annual tests are a waste of time, money. Teachers not allowed to see questions or student answers. Results come back in 3-5 months. Why bother? Good for ed industry profits.

@mrsgonzalez247 FCTA Amber Chandler, NBCT Laura Klein I want to thank you too! What a wonderful surprise when I opened my email. Very thoughtful!

11 players & 3 coaches from our boys volleyball program volunteered at home over winter break assembling 5,850 hand sanitizer bottles for The Teacher's Desk for classroom cleaning packs for teachers all around WNY #FFVB

Love this! #FCTAproud The team the volunteers together, grows together.

Let Teachers Teach! Not waste time testing! The act of teaching alone tells us where our students are & what they need to learn next. And we can be a lot more engaging & interesting than some multiple choice test. gadflyonthewallblog.com/2020/12/12/wil… #TBATs ctbadassteachers DC BATs

Working people, labor unions, and those fighting every day for their shot at the middle class are the backbone of our economy and of this country. As Secretary of Labor, I’ll work just as hard for you as you do for your families and livelihoods. You have my word.

And now it’s our staffs turn to celebrate....Hey-eh-eh-eh! Have a great weekend everyone! It was a great week here at FMS. We are all truly blessed to work in an environment that cares so much about our children.

Our economic team members have track records of not only standing up for workers and unions, but spurring innovation, and creating opportunity for small business owners. And like President-elect Joe Biden and I, they will fight to honor the dignity of work.
