It's Black Teacher Appreciation Day! 🎉

Today, we celebrate under the theme "Black Resistance and Joy: Celebrating Black Educators and Teaching as a Practice of Freedom" — and we invite you to honor the Black teachers in your life.

Use this post as a chance to go into the comments and tag a Black teacher who made a difference in your life.

Only 7% of U.S. teachers identify as Black, while Black students make up over 15% of the K-12 population. Research shows that the presence of Black teachers in schools contributes to more inclusive and supportive learning environments. Black students who have had Black teachers are 38% more likely to report feeling that they belong at school.

As we mark the 100th anniversary of Black History Month and honor the legacy of Carter G. Woodson, let's recommit to building the Black teacher pipeline because representation in the classroom is an act of freedom.

Celebrating our School Lunch Heroes! 💥🍽️
Our students wrote so many sweet messages for our awesome Food Services team, reminding them of the heroes that they are! 💚✨

It’s Teacher Appreciation Week! Let’s show our dedicated teachers how much we appreciate them by transforming appreciation into ACTION. That means respect, fair wages, and a voice at the table when decisions about our schools and students’ futures are made.

Here are some ways to turn your APPRECIATION into ACTION!

🍎Support collective bargaining rights in your state. Educators earn more --- 24% more, on average --- where they have strong unions and the freedom to bargain collectively.
🍎Vote for pro-public education candidates for the schoolboard, state house, and U.S. Congress. Let’s fully fund our public schools!
🍎Speak up for teachers at school board meetings. Ensure their voices and needs are heard by local leaders who decide funding, salaries, benefits, class sizes, and more.
