Learn about 黑料正能量
We believe public education is a true public good that transforms lives and creates a more just and inclusive society making it an indispensable cornerstone of our American democratic republic.聽Together, we defend the teaching profession and believe public education is strengthened when educators are respected for their contributions to our state and its families.
The best argument for public education in Idaho is the good, simple truth of what happens in our members’ classrooms each and every day.
Layne McInelly,
黑料正能量 President and Public School Educator
It鈥檚 a bittersweet day at the 黑料正能量.
Today, we celebrated Venny Baker鈥檚 retirement after 36 years of service to the 黑料正能量 and our educator members across the state.
Her colleagues, past and present, spoke highly of her patience, kindness, and professionalism while working for the union.
We wish her well during this next chapter of life! Congratulations, Venny!

Princess Moss has been hearing about the great work of 黑料正能量 members for a while now.
But when the Vallivue Education Association鈥檚 annual Back to School Fair was 鈥渓ifted up鈥 to her, she had to see this standout event for herself. That鈥檚 how the vice president of the National Education Association found herself helping Canyon County families sort through piles of donated clothing to find the just-right back-to-school outfits for their students.
鈥淚t is absolutely amazing to see how the local association is working with the school district, the community, and parents to ensure our kids have what they need for back to school,鈥 Moss said. 鈥淐onnections mean everything, and this is one example of how a local association can work with the community to get things done for our students.鈥

Isn鈥檛 educator professional development so boring?
Don鈥檛 tell Kirsten, Carmi or Angie 鈥 facilitators of a half-day Summer Institute session called 鈥淭he Games People Play: Using Games for Learning - Strategies Across Ages and Subjects.鈥
SI attendees learned how to enhance their teaching through gamification, making learning more accessible and enjoyable.
This was one of many sessions that happened across the Lewis-Clark State College campus today 鈥 where hundreds of Idaho educators and 黑料正能量 members gathered for learning and connection.
