Excited to be part of The EdCollab’s 21st FREE, online, K-12 Literacy Conference. My session is titled “Keeping Joy at the Center of Teaching and Learning”.” Watch on our YouTube channel or online: gathering.theeducatorcollaborative.com
You may not have a Teacher of the Year Award to hang on your wall, but the handwritten notes & drawings from your students that are tucked in your desk drawer or hanging on the wall are the real trophies that motivate and inspire you to be your very best!
It was an exciting board meeting for me last night! Excited to serve as the new Associate Principal at Sherwood Elementary for 2024-2025. 🐼

Sunday scaries are a reminder that you care about your job and want to make a real difference through your work. Today, don’t focus on the barriers to your impact. Spend a moment in gratitude, remembering why you want to make an impact and what your work means to you!
Standing room only for @pbertana’s session on Amplifying Student Voice & Choice! 🙌🏻 How are you supporting a shared learning community where your students feel valued, seen, & heard? Are you creating a space that truly feels like OUR classroom? #ideacon2024
So grateful for @STweedLitCoach agreeing to present with me at #ideacon We had a great session! Thanks to all who attended!
Good Morning #ideacon24 Join @STweedLitCoach & I at 10:00 in Schaumburg C. We can't wait to share about how we amplify student voice and choice in classrooms.
Thankful to be part of this amazing community. Please read: Position Statement on the Harm Enacted When So-Called "Diverse Titles” Are Segregated from Main Book Collections - Blog | The Educator Collaborative Community community.theeducatorcollaborative.com/position-state…
@NateJoseph19 The argument is not for teacher autonomy. It’s for responsive/adaptive instruction. Which…is supported by research but is missing in practice when implementation of any approach is made to be lock-step. Two about this recently in RRQ scholar.harvard.edu/jameskim/publi…
Innovation thrives in an environment where curiosity is nurtured, questions are celebrated, and ‘Why not?’ is the default response. #authenticleadership
This one size fits all curriculum is killing me. Trying to keep the kids who already have the skills engaged and on task while my kids who are learning English have no clue how to do what we’re doing. Going for the middle and helping…no one. 1/2
Don’t mistake silence for apathy. When people are quiet, they’re often busy thinking and learning. Extraverts like to process ideas by talking them through. Introverts prefer to reflect before they speak. I'm not disengaged. I'm listening to your views and formulating mine.
SOR as a body of research is distinct from SOR as instructional practice is distinct from SOR as advocacy is distinct from SOR as policy
To provide kids with the schools and future they deserve, we must wholeheartedly support our teachers.
How many "poor readers" on comprehension tests are actually great readers who just come to us w/ less background knowledge? Kids whose families can afford cable/vacas/museum visits, etc come w/ more experiences aiding comprehension. Others don't. Doesn't mean they can't read.
So grateful that #TheEdCollabGathering is recorded. Shifting from educator to #baseballmom for the afternoon.

I've seen March Madness brackets for books...but never one made up entirely of my own titles! Sherwood Elementary set up a Battle of the Books w/ my chapter books & novels for older kids and one with picture books for younger readers. Such a great idea for an author visit!
Happy Associate Principals Day to all of the APs in @NSSD112. We are especially grateful to @Mr_KSaunders, AP at @SherwoodPandas. His leadership, support, and energy as a @112foundation trustee enhance our impact across the district.

@NateJoseph19 The argument is not for teacher autonomy. It’s for responsive/adaptive instruction. Which…is supported by research but is missing in practice when implementation of any approach is made to be lock-step. Two about this recently in RRQ scholar.harvard.edu/jameskim/publi…
Innovation thrives in an environment where curiosity is nurtured, questions are celebrated, and ‘Why not?’ is the default response. #authenticleadership
If you don't think morale is important, remember that a student's learning environment is created by the teacher. A teacher who is supported, valued, & appreciated will create a more positive & dynamic learning environment than a teacher who is not.
Chilly and rainy here but it’s going to be a fantastic day because I’ll connect and learn from #edtechcoaches across IL and beyond! Facilitating these monthly meetings is truly a highlight of my job.
🔑A key to navigating professional conversations around reading instruction: Don't try to change the other person's mind. Listen + learn. If you need to counter something that is objectively wrong, you might try, "I hear what you are saying. Here is what I hold to be true..."
This one size fits all curriculum is killing me. Trying to keep the kids who already have the skills engaged and on task while my kids who are learning English have no clue how to do what we’re doing. Going for the middle and helping…no one. 1/2
A great servant leadership reminder about true “success”… #WednesdayWisdom #leadership
Great minds don’t always think alike. Great minds provide diverse perspectives and possibilities. Great leaders welcome the push in their thinking. #LeadershipMatters
