My colleagues in the @WordInBlack feed are listing so many great solutions to support Black educators, including investments in leadership opps and loan forgiveness - how are states addressing this? Take a look here: edtrust.org/educator-diversi…
Black student debt reports from Ed Trust highlight the ways in which Black borrowers are disproportionately affected by student debt. States can do more to address this like loan forgiveness opportunities and mortgage assistance for teachers. @WordInBlack edtrust.org/resource/jim-cro…
Black teachers have had lower retention rates than their peers since before the pandemic. The pandemic exacerbated those issues. @WordInBlack #mentalhealth #TeacherAppreciation

#Apollo50th would be inconceivable without @WVStateU/@WestVirginiaU grad Katherine Johnson who calculated trajectories for #Apollo11 astronauts like @TheRealBuzz.

Yes, @ChipotleTweets we know it costs extra 😉 Luckily, annual guac purchases do not impact eligibility for aid. If burrito lovers are still looking for 💵 for school, they can check out these options: blog.ed.gov/2017/07/7-option…
@BankofAmerica I’ve been on the phone waiting for over an hour because my account has been frozen. It’s extreme frustrating. Please DM also I can verify the purchases and I can have access to my account again.
Take a look at the great work of @SarojaWarner and me to set a vision and guidance to our work of increasing the diversity and cultural responsiveness of the national teacher workforce!
NEW! How can states promote a more culturally responsive teacher workforce? Our new report offers insight on how states can create a vision to make it happen, download it here: bit.ly/2Fk9N0a #StatesLeading

A student of @_MrHand shared: "I want to help those kids like me who think they can't make it. I never saw people like me being teachers. So, I want to be that person for my future students to look at and say I can make it because she did."
