As we move through Memorial Day, we are keeping the Uvalde community and all of our school and campus partners in our hearts. As a group of former teachers and campus staff ourselves, weeks like this are always incredibly difficult. Below, we’ve included resources for how to best speak with our students about this event and provide support for our community in this time of mourning and memoriam.
|
This report includes relevant ideas regarding the current conversation around legislation, next steps, and priorities for keeping our schools safe. We found it particularly helpful to deepen our own understanding of some of the nuances and recent trends in this conversation.

It is very important for us to continuously center educator and student voice in this conversation, especially as other voices threaten to drown out those most impacted. In this piece, part of EdWeek’s Voices for Change initiative, ninth grade teacher Ka’ua Adams shares her experience of navigating tragic loss alongside her students.

Career Corner: Ask a Recruiter
|
I have gotten a ton of questions lately about whether or not jobseekers should include the green #opentowork banner on their LinkedIn profile. In the past, I recommended jobseekers primarily select the “recruiter only” feature, but now I am a proponent of including the green banner and making your job search public (especially based on feedback from many recruiters in the field). Here are the benefits of a public job search, and things to consider before including that green banner:
|
|
|
- There is no shame in looking for a new job! If you are, you are among millions of job seekers doing that every day.
- Recruiters want to get a strong return on their outreach to candidates, so if you meet the qualifications for their role AND it looks like you are open to a conversation, most of them are more likely to reach out to you.
- Your network is more likely to send you leads if they know you’re open to them! People don’t know you might need help in a job search unless you ask, so this is a great way for even more distant connections to think of you first when they find out about a job opening on their team or within their organization.
- Caveat: If you haven’t been open with your manager/colleagues/direct reports that you’re actively looking for a new role, consider the impact it might have for them to see your green banner. Will you face any repercussions with your manager, or will your direct reports worry about their own job security if they think their manager is leaving? Consider conversations you might need to have in advance of posting the green banner.
