Ed Droste de Grizzly Bear, ha comenzado a reunir materiales escolares para maestros necesitados. Con la campaña de Instagram #10FeaturedTeachers, Droste elige aleatoriamente diez maestros en los EE. UU. que necesitan ayuda para comprar las necesidades del salón de clases. La lista de deseos de Amazon de cada maestro se publica en la biografía de Droste durante 24 horas, invitando a fanáticos y seguidores a comprar los suministros.

«Tengo un buen amigo que es profesor en Los Ángeles y que recientemente me explicó cuántos maestros tienen que comprar sus propios suministros para sus aulas, lo que realmente dice mucho sobre este país«, dijo en una publicación. «No estaba al tanto de cuán desesperada era la mayoría de las aulas por los suministros, y que la carga recaía en el bolsillo del maestro«. Hasta ahora, Droste ha ayudado a seis maestros; siga las actualizaciones #10FeaturedTeachers en su historia de Instagram.

 

(Please read! ❤️) Hi all! Meet Erica! As some of you know from following my stories I randomly was giving a way a lot of free stuff which was super fun (lube, candles, perfume), but it also occurred to me given the traction of those stories, that we could use that same energy and this platform to help give back. I have a good friend who is a teacher in LA and who recently explained to me how many many teachers have to buy their own supplies for their classrooms, which really says a lot about this country, and also just seems insane considering how teaching is one of the hardest, most underpaid jobs in the nation! Both my parents were teachers at a private school and I was lucky to get a free ride, so in my privilege I was very unaware of how desperate a majority of classrooms are for supplies, and that the burden fell on the teacher’s own pocketbook…..so I decided to make a call to followers, and see how many teachers were out there following along that were teaching in underserved communities and really needed help. For the next 10 days I’ll be highlighting a teacher a day with their wishlist for their classroom on my stories. This main page post is a plea to ask you to follow along and donate but only if you have the excess income, which I know a lot of people do that follow. I’ll be donating , and I hope you can too! Also many of the items are under 20 dollars! Enter Erica, she’s the first teacher I’m featuring and probably the only one on the main page as the story gets much more eyeballs but here are her words “Hey my name is Erica and I teach 4th grade reading in Chicago and my wish list is all about reading-I want my students to access texts with characters that look like them and also use Post-its to help synthesize their thoughts about what they’ve read.” If you can help, please look at the story for the swipe up link for her wishlist. Thank you Erica and thank you to all the teachers out there doing the hardest work. Tomorrow will be another teacher in the stories, so if this interests you, please keep an eye out! All the best and much love! ❤️❤️❤️ #10featuredteachers (teacher #1)
