ASPIRING EDUCATORS!
I was thrilled to speak at the Aspiring Educators GramAE Awards Ceremony! These are the students who will carry on the work of our union. They bring new ideas, perspectives, and questions to our movement, such as how artificial intelligence in the classroom changes learning dynamics and how teacher evaluations affect future educators from marginalized communities. This video highlights two of my answers to the Aspiring Educators Caucus questionnaire for candidate endorsement.
YOU GOTTA BE!
Listening to inspirational music can help you stay energized and focused during the RA! One motivational song I like is "You Gotta Be" by Des'ree. The lyrics are relevant to all education leaders because we often face complex and demanding work. As I head into the last week of my re-election campaign, these lyrics remind me that I can make a difference in the lives of our members and the students they serve!
