Educators deserve more than just words of thanks this Teacher Appreciation Week. Contact your legislators and Governor Lamont and tell them to support educators and our priorities before it’s too late.
An open letter from CEA President Kate Dias is running in 10 Connecticut newspapers calling on legislators to step up and support educators and students.
Please write to your legislator and tell them to extend the same rights to ensure fairness and due process for all educators.
CEA leaders are joining NEA directors and leaders from education associations across the country this week in Washington, D.C., to meet with members of Congress to champion teachers’ priorities.
As cities and towns face the loss of federal COVID funding, rising education costs, and other fiscal challenges, CEA is working with local teachers’ unions to ensure budget shortfalls don’t land on the shoulders of Connecticut’s children and teachers.
“One of the most important things we do is try to get the best teachers for our kids,” said Principal Donald Schels of Shepaug Valley School at the job fair CEA hosted April 27.
“Music has a tremendous impact on kids and their ability to learn,” Al deCant, “the Singing Principal” told educators gathered for the first Artists and Educators Children’s Songs Conference and Festival at Mitchell College.
Teaching is demanding work, and for educators of color, that experience—and the path to leadership—comes with hurdles few others experience or even see. CEA’s Summit on Diversity explored these and other topics, with personal stories of hardship, inspiration, and success.
