Oklahoma Teachers Address Education Concerns in Video

The staff at Moore Public Schools wants their concerns to be heard. The district released a video last night of teachers and administrators expressing their worries about education in Oklahoma.

The video, titled "Breaking the Silence," emphasizes three main things that educators at Moore Public Schools want to see change:

  • teacher pay
  • inequity of the A through F report card system
  • teacher evaluations that are based on student test scores.

They referenced the teacher shortage in the state as evidence of a problem.
Superintendent Robert Romines and other administrators want their video to go viral as a way to encourage other districts to make their own. They say the goal is to help the public and state legislators understand what is going on in their classrooms—and ultimately make legislative changes.
