Dear Texans,
Trump is going to take away Special Ed funding and Title 1 funding.
Abbott is going to take away public school funding when he passes vouchers.
75% of Rural counties do not have private schools.
Pub Schools are the top employers.
Doesn't sound good for Rural Tx.
BurnsideMath retweeted
Vouchers are controversial not based on the # of states w/ a program. It's controversial b/c we expect elected officials to use evidence from rigorous studies to make decisions, such as studies from OH, LA, IN finding that students using vouchers have statistically significant negative achievement outcomes. @GinaForAustin @jamestalarico @TexasAFT @tasanet @TEPSAtalk @RYHTexas @EveryTxn @txstateteachers @MomsAGAbbott @DianeRavitch #txlege

None of the school voucher programs in other states are working.
Florida has seen student outcomes decline.
Arizona's school voucher bureaucracy is plagued by fraud and hemorrhaging money.

To teach is to show or explain how to do something.
I can plan to teach a lesson.
I teach the lesson.
But that doesn't guarantee learning.
If I design for learning instead, I will have made all the purposeful & intentional choices required to produce evidence of learning.

Ask yourself this question: "Why hasn't Gov Abbott come to sell vouchers at my Public School if vouchers are so great?" Well Why? Why hasn't he gone to rural Texas where there are no private schools to sell vouchers?
BurnsideMath retweeted
Even Abbott admits it: Texas public schools will LOSE money thanks to this ridiculous voucher scheme.
Fewer teachers, more school closures, MORE property taxes as districts struggle to make ends meet.
Call your rep, tell them NO vouchers 512-463-4630

Greg Abbott is losing it because his voucher scam has been exposed. Texas schools will lose billions they now use for academics, athletics, teacher training, student support.
In dozens of Texas counties there’s not even a single private school that parents can “choose” to send their kids to.

Sometimes there are circumstances in your work environment that are awful. That’s the reality. Most of those circumstances are out of your control. That’s also the reality.
Keep caring about students. Keep supporting your colleagues. Don’t overlook the little moments of joy.

When a teacher does not try a new approach in their practice it may be because they are anxious, unsure, lacking resources, overwhelmed etc. Teaching can be an isolating experience. Take time to listen and understand before expecting change.

Texas cannot afford to fund School Choice and TRS. According to the Senate Budget Board’s Actuarily Report, if the number of public schools students dips even slightly, the state will no longer be able to afford TRS. The report states that if the school choice bill passes, the contribution level to TRS will have to increase or the state will only have 12 years of TRS funds available. The Senate knows, per their own reports, that the state can’t afford to fund both both TRS and school choice but plan to pass it anyway. #txed #txlege #SB2 #vouchers #scam #schoolChoice @RYHTexas @Texans4E @ZachRunsThings @DefendingEd @TXEDEXPOSED @TexasTribune @scottbraddock @quorumreport #SD7

Bellaire High School is looking for some colleagues for our English Department! We will need a long-term sub from March to May for someone out on parental leave, and we are adding a position immediately to our English 1 team because our ninth grade class is so large.
