A recent report from WalletHub ranks North Carolina 44th in the nation and the worst state in the Southeast for educators. North Carolina falls behind every single neighboring state, all while teachers nationwide are earning less than they did a decade ago when adjusted for inflation.

Veteran educators, we want to hear from you! After years of building your knowledge and experience, you have a wealth of insight to share. What advice would you give a first-year educator? 🤔💭

Heather Morgan is a first-grade teacher and a former nurse. Two women-dominated professions. Two fields where worker voices are too often ignored. Watch her explain how changes to the State Health Plan are disrupting lives. This is why we unionize.

Why don't voucher schools getting millions of North Carolina taxpayer dollars have to tell anyone what their standardized testing results are - like public schools do? Think carefully. Why wouldn't they want people to know that?

Josh Stein signed the state budget today, after more than two full years without one. Many teachers and staff will finally see their first raise since the 2024-25 school year, but it's not nearly enough.

The celebration of Juneteenth reminds us that freedom and liberation is for all of us. Each truth of American history, both known and unknown, shapes the fabric of who we are today and who we want to be for generations to come.

Teachers applaud early-career raises but ask, 'What's to keep me around?'
Republican lawmakers gave a preview of a new teacher pay plan that would significantly raise the floor for starting teacher pay, but teachers say they also worry about the ceiling.

You cannot stabilize schools by replacing experienced educators every few years. Students deserve experienced teachers who can afford to stay.
Veteran educators are mentoring new teachers, leading teams, managing classrooms, and holding schools together, yet the new budget proposal leaves many of them behind.

North Carolina pays our teachers thousands less per year than any of our neighboring states in the southeast and far below the national average. Becoming the best paying state in the southeast is possible if the NC Senate cooperates. #ncpol #teachers #kidsovercorporations @wearencae.bsky.social
