Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week and maybe it's a bit hard on teachers lately, in Iowa, in general. So let's shout out the amazing ones! I'm collecting stories about your favorite Iowa teachers for a compilation. Can be past or present, anywhere in Iowa. DM/email/reply!

Most of us believe that all children deserve an honest, accurate public education. An education that teaches critical thinking and how to learn from mistakes to make a better future. Political bans that censor and whitewash our history harm our students. usatoday.com/story/opinion/v…

Why is inclusivity important? Why do students need to see themselves in the curriculum? “Because we need to affirm the existence of every single child.”~Kurt Russell, 2022 National Teacher of the Year #EEA8 @IowaSEA @IADeptofEd

Lots of great learning is going to occur today at the Emerging Educators Academy! Some of the state's top teachers are heading this up, which is designed for pre-service educators, as well as teachers who have taught up to three years. Great people, great academy!

If you have worked in public service for 10 years, you may be eligible to have all your student debt canceled under temporary changes made by the Biden-Harris Administration to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. Apply by October 31. Visit PSLF.gov.

After 10+ years of payments, @IowaSEA educator Jamie Walker-Sallis thought she'd be paying off student debt forever. Thanks to a temporary waiver, her balance is now $0! Be like Jamie: Apply for Public Service Loan Forgiveness by 10/31: bit.ly/3e9McTe #PSLFWorks

Late tonight, tune in to @Nightline for a discussion with me about how we need to give educators the pay, resources, and respect they need in order to address this untenable educator shortage.

@IowaSEA we are excited!
Please congratulate Eriece Colbert on her new role as Cedar Rapids Education Association President! In her role of president of CREA, Eriece is looking forward to continuing to support and serve teachers in all phases of their careers.
Thank you, @CharityNebbe, for your interview today with @IowaSEA’s Mike Beranek! Iowans LOVE their schools. 🏫 If you too are frustrated by the GOP’s decade-long attack on education, join the SEDCD on Sept. 6 in Clive to hear from Mike in person. Details: fb.me/e/2MQckVWVM – at Clive, IA
