Teachers and Optimism by Maria Velazquez

The Educator Confidence Report is reporting some dire news. This came to me via Yahoo! Finance, where the reporting centered on the role of teacher salaries in creating and fostering strong teachers. One of the big issues I’ve talked about on the radio show is the broken promise of Public Service Loan Forgiveness. How can we expect teachers to offer the emotional and intellectual support necessary to be the best educator possible when they have to also worry about their living expenses?

I wish the report had gone into the disproportionate impact this issue has on teachers of color.
