This video explains the concept of
message discipline and outlines points of the UEA message. |
As a teacher, you are an education leader. When you speak about issues related to our schools, our students, and the state of education, people listen. From casual conversations with friends, family and neighbors…to formal interviews with the media…to speaking with policymakers on your local school board or at the state capitol…you are the most respect voice on education in Utah.
And when thousands of educators across the state speak with one unified voice and express the same values, priorities, and ideas, we have the power to make change. To make a difference!
Following are research-based messages Utah teachers can use to talk about public education issues. You certainly don’t need to hit every message, but share the portion that best fits what you are trying to convey. Always remember at the core of our message is our students…student success is at the heart of everything we do!
As you share your story, be sure to personalize for your audience and make it local…specific to your community, your neighborhood, your school, your classroom. Sharing our values and ideas with friends, family, and neighbors; with parents, community leaders, and elected officials; and with the broader public at large is an important part of our efforts to build and maintain support for education in Utah.
You are the most respected voice in education in Utah…a Utah teacher!
