“Think like you’re bargaining at the table, and across the table from you are people who don’t understand the lives of your members, your students, your patients, and communities. Your stories are the most powerful tools you have.” Amazing advice from @AFTEVPDeJesus! #TEACH25
“Will this help the students who need it the most, safely and effectively?” Is the question @AFTEVPDeJesus shares should be our leading question. @AFTunion
“AI can’t replace educators, it is a resource!” @AFTEVPDeJesus @AFTunion
