Congratulations to David Renner, the 2025 ISTA ESP of the year! David greets the students and parents every morning with a handmade sign that brings them joy and laughter as he directs traffic, so the students congratulated him with handmade signs of their own. @ista-in.org

Today we celebrate the amazing class of 2025. It’s been a tremendous honor to be your teacher — thank you for sharing your wisdom, your courage, your empathy, and your wit with me (and next year’s students!)💜

I wanna see more classroom teachers delivering keynotes, facilitating workshops, and given space and larger platforms to talk about what’s working/not working with students in this moment. Too many educator conferences, not nearly enough current teacher voices and experiences.

I’m so thankful to get to work with students like these amazing young innovators 🥰 Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! Read more in this article from The Herald Times: Bloomington South team wins national #STEM competition for athletic hearing aid accessory www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/e...

The presidents of the National Education Association and American Federation of Teachers say the political climate has added to age-old money problems for teachers, such as underfunded schools.

Most Americans frequently use federal science information. But few are concerned that cuts to federal science spending could affect their access to such information, a new poll finds.

if you know a lot of stuff i think it is your moral duty to be kind and excited when people learn stuff for the first time. the world is full of stuff we don't know about, don't be mean

The anti-collective bargaining language has been removed from the final CCR for HB 1515. Thank you to everyone who reached out to their lawmakers on this issue over the last few days.

What a day. Hundreds packed the Statehouse to stand up for our students, educators, and public schools. Thank you for showing up, speaking out, and standing strong. Let’s keep going—for our kids, our schools, and our future.

So proud to be able to show our kids how many people are fighting for their future! Our letter-writing station collected 50+ letters from K-12 kids helping teach our elected state officials why school funding is urgent and essential. Thank you @istamembers.bsky.social ❤️

The agency forecasts weather, manages fisheries, and researches the world's oceans, atmosphere, and climate. The proposed budget cuts would slash the climate work entirely.

oh you mean like every other time they've tried this? everywhere else in the world?
