We're 2 days from the next CDC guideline: "Hey, man. You do you."

Tune in to @CNNnewsroom tonight at 8 pm ET as our very own @BeckyPringle, a 30-year science teacher, talks with @PamelaBrownCNN about how we follow the science, keep people safe and work to keep our students and educators in-person in classrooms amidst the Omicron surge.

From one cruciverbalist to another… happy National Crossword Puzzle Day, Kansas! If you need me, I’ll be here.

Now is the perfect time for administrators to show "We're all on the same team" and "Classrooms are the most important part of school" by getting out of their offices and filling those empty substitute spots.

Teachers are stressed out, and it's causing some to quit. edwk.it/37F9JFQ

We are a team – parents, educators, and administrators. It's all our responsibility to make sure our classrooms are safe for learning.

On November 20th, we honor the memories of all trans people who lost their lives to transphobia. Hate has no place in Kansas, and we will continue creating a society that protects and respects all transgender people. #TransDayOfRemembrance

Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we mourn every trans person who has been lost to hateful violence—each life unique, special, irreplaceable. Together, we must reject discrimination & bias to create a world where every trans student & educator is safe, supported & loved.

It’s more than just teachers that take care of our students each day – education support professionals including custodial & food service staff, nurses and more, help students succeed every day. Thank you for all you do for our schools. #WeLoveOurESPs

It’s just incredibly heartbreaking to watch how just 12 months ago educators were being celebrated. Now, across the country educators and leaders are vilified left and right over lies by crazy extremists. If only people knew how much of ourselves we pour into this job.

.@POTUS says we must call for vaccinations "to protect our youngest, most precious Americans and give parents that comfort. Vaccination requirements in schools are nothing new." Catch the highlights of Biden's speech ⤵️ finance.yahoo.com/news/president…
