Nearly 4,000 student teachers applied for stipends, but Pa. only has money to pay 700. Advocates are pushing for more funding for the program, which launched this year to combat teacher shortages inquirer.com/education/penn…

Sending appreciation to Stephen Kinsey and his staffer for taking the time today! Even though Rep. Kinsey is in Philly he still took the time to jump on a call and chat with us about education in the Commonwealth

#PASchoolsWork thanks to the leadership of amazing teachers across the Commonwealth. Today is #TeacherAppreciationDay -- help us #ThankATeacher by sharing how a teacher you know is leading their students or their community. #PASchoolSpirit

Teacher Appreciation Day is the perfect opportunity to #ThankATeacher for the impact they have on our children and our communities. Thank you to all of our teachers for your patience, your dedication, and all you do to shape our future generations.

On vouchers: 'Funding private schools will not move the Commonwealth a single dollar closer to its constitutional mandate, because that mandate is clear: The General Assembly must support and maintain a contemporary, effective public education system' pubintlaw.org/wp-content/upl…

“Student teaching stipends are a smart and necessary way to quickly support the teacher pipeline while other reforms... are ironed out and implemented.”
We’re excited to see support for #studentteachingstipends from Pittsburgh Post-Gazette! Read more solutions here: tinyurl.com/mr3cz5u3

Today is #NationalTeacherDay ! 🍎

Take it from future student-teacher, Hannah Buckley— without student-teacher stipends, “100% have to dip into savings.”

Sending gratitude to Senator Art Haywood for taking the time to meet with Teach Plus PA fellows today and his continued partnership with our B21 students. Lots of important work to be done with priorities in education this year and beyond!

This letter urging opposition to vouchers was set to every PA lawmaker today. Spending more $$ on vouchers for unaccountable and discriminatory private schools does not bring PA one one dollar closer to constitutional compliance. edvoterspa.org/wp-content/upl…

Nothing but appreciation to Rep. Napoleon Nelson who was triple booked but still took the time to have a walking meeting to discuss important education issues. Pennsylvania has another excellent legislator and champion for education in our state! Teach Plus PA
