A Teachers Purpose and Holiday Thoughts with Linda Taylor (Long Island, NY), Author, Entrepreneur, Poet, and Retired Certified Teacher is Chosen Visionary in HOT-Seat Number 82

How to Save Money with a TEACHER’S PURPOSE?

80 Replies

A Teacher’s Purpose can change from day to day; How to save money with a teacher’s purpose is another thing entirely. Sometimes minute by minute a circumstance or situation can change the dynamic no matter what you have planned. If you work with people, you must learn to be flexible if it’s not part of your anatomy. Anytime you have more than one person around, teaching can and must happen. The teacher’s purpose is certainly the driving force, but most often is developed over time based on who he or she is working for, or with and what outcomes are expected.

As the year ends and 2022 rings in, teachers are fighting for their lives and rights. There’s no one else on earth who should be paid more than teachers, but that’s not how we do things here in these United States of America, AKA (in the hood) the United States of America.

Because of the worldwide pandemic COVID-19, 20 and 21 teachers from all over the country have taken flight leaving their already over-burdened jobs. It appears that trillions of dollars have been thrown at education, but the truth is education has always been the front for urban growth and development for urban youth. The question is where did those dollars go? We know for certain others were NOT spent on helping early learners to know how to count, read, or write. NOW, we are here. We don’t have time to fight – Only to teach; Please let us?

What about Urban Academics?

At Urban Academics, we produce topical content that enables black, brown, poor, and other folks who live the inner-city urban experience. Each weekly segment features a new Chosen Visionary from all walks of life, sharing their stories of failure, success, tenacity, and more. Collectively, contributions to the world are significant. Chosen Visionaries do not run from worldwide pandemics but rather do all they can to chart their individual and collective course! Those who don’t give up ultimately find success, and here in this post, you will meet our next Chosen Visionary in HOT-Seat Number SEVENTY-Nine (79).

How to Save Money With Teachers Purpuse?

Every governor in every state has the power to save money with a teacher’s purpose. Most educational entities are top-heavy because most of the roles are political. Therefore, sometimes the best answers are overlooked because the folks with them (ideas) are overworked, and are not able to sit in decision-making rooms. There are states that bring certain teachers into the mix to create comradery amongst the teaching profession, but that hardly cuts the grade because the numbers are not balanced.

If we took the summer months to design the school year, rather than the pseudo summer school programs carried on in our inner-city schools, we could re-purpose money floating it in the right direction for the same children, utilizing teachers working together answering a few key questions. I won’t answer those in this blog, but you can join us at the Urban Academics Roundtable to hear from Chosen VIsionary in HOT-Seat Number 82, Lady Linda Turner.

You save money when you understand a teacher’s purpose. Just allow him or her to do whatever they feel, in order to move a child from ZERO to HERO! If it doesn’t cross ethics or integrity, allow good teachers to go on and teach. After all, isn’t that what they should do – Teach?

Super Easy Ways To Learn Everything About ADOPTION

63 Replies

Adoption can be a very tricky subject, especially for black, brown, and low to moderate-income families. It could be that the mindset of the individuals mentioned here wonder how extra mouths in a house when there are limited means is feasible. Another idea is the embarrassment associated with what family is supposed to be and when abandonment enters the room.

This week’s Chosen Visionary in HOT-Seat 65 will help Urban Academics Roundtable members to think of ways to support vulnerable children and families who look to adoption and foster care as a resource.

“Adoption and foster care is a traumatic experience. It’s a loss of a birth parent. Talking about Trauma is important because it has had an impact. What happens after the Trauma, and we have no idea what the parent was going through. Before classifying children and youth as “bad,” let’s learn to explore their individual stories.”

Joi Fisher-Griffin’s Notable Accomplishments:

Thanks to the tireless efforts of the NJ CARE Team, Governor Chris Christie signed the Adoptee Birthright Act (P.L. 2014, C.9), which became law on January 1, 2017. Now, adopted New Jerseyans born after November 14, 1940, can access their original birth certificates without a court order. Joi was present at the New Jersey State House to witness this historic legislation take effect, which gave her hope for a new chapter in her life.

What’s More?

When Lady Joi is not cape-wearing with an “S” on her chest making brave attempts at saving the world, she goes into “parent” mode. It seems taking care of everyone else is a permanent part of her DNA. Her goal is to try and pay more attention to herself both mentally and physically. As a woman of faith, she believes in overcoming anything through honesty and doing the work. Owning up to things that need change is the first step. Taking life seriously and speaking her truth during counseling sessions is her go-to, and she recommends it (counseling) to others.
