Happy Holidays From The Shanker Institute

From 2021 to 2022

Happy Holidays!

We have enjoyed working alongside you and providing you with insightful commentary on critical topics of the day, including pressing public education, labor movement, and democracy issues. This pandemic, the complications it created, and the inequities it exacerbated, have taken a lot out of educators, healthcare professionals, families, and whole communities. At the close of 2021, it is clear much work remains to strengthen our public schools, grow our labor movement, and protect our democracy. It is both inspiring and motivating to see the number of people committed to the long-term vision of stronger public schools, a vibrant and progressive labor movement, and a healthy democracy.

To provide time for our colleagues to step away from work, rest, and recharge, the Albert Shanker Institute will be pausing new blog entries until January 2022. We look forward to working alongside you to make progress in 2022. We wish you health and safety (please mask up, get vaccinated, and care for those most vulnerable to illness around you) and progress as we journey into the New Year!
