In the last 25 years, wages for college graduates have risen 28%. Wages for teachers during the same period, only 2%. We’re calling on states and districts to increase teacher pay. It’s time our teachers saw the support and pay they deserve. Livable wage = Respect.

1/3 Even judging only by exam scores, even in college, & even in STEM subjects, a review of 225 studies shows that active learning (more asking than telling) leads to "strong increases in student performance" compared to traditional lecture-based teaching: goo.gl/CB6V3j

🌱 Scientists in Michigan recently dug up a bottle of seeds buried by botanist William Beal in 1879 — and now, they're trying to sprout them. It's part of a long-running research study that's been handed down generation after generation. trib.al/8yFWmCY

Consider this: 89.6% of American farmers do not make the majority of their money from farming. This needs to change. We need to create a fairer, more transparent food system, support value-added opportunities, & build new markets & streams of income for producers.
