@MarkRJohnsonNC says we are at an age where parents are telling their kids not to become teachers. That needs to change says Johnson. #nced#ncpol#NC2030
NC Superintendent @MarkRJohnsonNC projects that the state's average teacher pay will reach nearly $54,000 this year, up from $51,214 last school year. He wants to raise teacher pay by at least 5%. https://t.co/RO3gBDphZD#nced#wral
NC Schools Supt. @MarkRJohnsonNC says the new Teach NC initiative announced tonight is meant to share the message that teaching is a wonderful profession & that can teachers can make a good living across the state. #nced#ncpol
Other major announcement tonight (2 hours in): later this Spring, DPI will launch a website #TeachNC to recruit teachers to NC by advertising, social media & at career fairs by telling them what a great state we are in which to live. #ncpol#NCed#underwhelmed
So much inequity in our state. Teacher raises and everything else in the #NC2030 plan sound important. But what about the disparities in per student spending here? #NCEd#EducationEquity
Thank you to the #NCEd educators who took time out of their impossibly demanding schedules tonight to stand up for our schools & students. Y’all make us so proud. 🙌#NotInvited#InThisTogether#AllVoices
I would have been glad to stand, but it does@t look like I would have to? Surely if only 30 people were turned down you could have fit us in or put us on the waitlist?!? #InThisTogether#notinvited#uninvited#emptytables
I’m at the private dinner hosted by @MarkRJohnsonNC So far, his “major announcements” are that we will meet old goals by 2030 & all schools will have access to a dashboard. #underwhelmed#NCed#ncpol
NC Schools Supt. @MarkRJohnsonNC called @WCPSS teacher Matt Scialdone on stage tonight to talk about new Teach NC effort. Scialdone called it 'a world-class resource for future teachers.' & a way to share NC teacher stories w/ public. #nced#ncpol
