I’ve been up since 2am after having a late night cup of Texas Pecan coffee while getting ready for today. But too bad I’m finally sleepy now because it’s time to “make the donuts!” 🍩 😩 #EinsteinFellows25

I totally align w/what you said about “exposing students to a wide array of career & educational options via career fairs, mentoring and hands-on learning from an early age” that will “spark curiosity and ignite ambition,”. This is MY WHY & has been the entirety of my prof. career as an educator.

I display this prominently in my classroom and reinforce it with the actions of celebrating when students find and correct their mistakes while respectfully challenging each other’s thinking.

True!! And even if the T does want the best for their Ss and doesn’t know or isn’t equipped to give it to them, we’re in the same boat! If indeed student achievement is the priority, the leaders and proponents of education really need to put the money where their mouth is!!

But tying everything ($$) to current achievement (test scores) even with getting a boost from student growth, will never get us there in time enough to affect the students we have now. The slope isn’t steep enough and the math ain’t mathing.

Yes, this is true! Something needs to shift without forsaking the students’ current and future needs. We have to look at the bigger picture and figure out how we marry the two. 10+ years ago, I said when the emphasis is put on growth and not right now results, maybe we can start to see improvement.

Very true. We need that parental support in all aspects. So how do we as educators address these things, especially when we don’t have them and still maintain and improve student outcomes?
