Teacher

The job should not be TOO hard. With added stress and unreasonable, unsustainable workloads, teachers get burnt out. If a teacher is not in the best mental state, it trickles down to the students. It’s extremely important to suppport our classrooms with necessary staff. Cotaught classrooms need to be supported and we need more of them.

Districts could provide more training for co-teaching. DESE could make co-teaching PD more accessible to districts. Funding for more staffing is also key. State leaders could advocate for more funding to increase both training and staffing to support the co-taught model.

Hi Deborah:

Thanks for joining our conversation. Please come back and tell us more about what supports you need and how you believe the union, school, district or state leaders could/should make that happen.
