Tuesday Tip: Since I'm an online teacher with the CCSD I'm going to start sending out some tips that hopefully will help others as we face potentially starting the year online. And agreed - they need to hurry up and make a decision so that we can prep for what we need to be ready to do!

"I came home to NEA because I believe that there is strength in numbers. A true union isn’t just about oneself but about the collective. Nationally, educators and education are under attack.
