This week 24 Lake County Instructional Coaches built their capacity for deep problem solving with me at the ROE Networking session. It’s a joy to be a part of their lives and encourage them before they step back into their buildings! #LakeCounty#InstructionalCoaches#Leaders
The Lake County ROE Instructional Coaching Network has officially launched for the 23-24 school year! I love the energy that comes from working with coaches who are determined to enhance practice in their schools! @lake_roe#ProfessionalLearning#PairedLearning
Excited to be part of the line up at Lake County’s Summer Splash Professional Learning Conference on June 13th at Warren Township High School’s Almond Campus! Registration is still open and you can see the sessions and descriptions s at :lake.k12.il.us/spalsh#SummerSplash
Yes, I may be organizing a retreat for educators. No, that does not mean all I believe teachers need right now is to “relax.” @authoralexandrarobbins Opinion Piece in EdWeek recently caught my attention. Read the full article at: edweek.org/teaching-learning… ##nurturewellness
Much food for thought here. I am 100% on board with the concept of trickle-down wellness-if we treat the root causes of stress in educators (investing in support, resources, smaller class sizes etc) we will improve student mental health as well.

If we go to all of the trouble to create an accommodation for a student who has an IEP, let's just give that to everyone. It's not harder and supports learning for everyone. Bonus: we can use it over and over to help all. #LeadInclusion#EdChat#UDL#Inclusion
Registration is open for my first ever retreat and I’m somehow completely calm. I’ve put it all on the line and trust that this space is needed in Lake County and beyond. Educators, this is for us!💛

The most common IEP accommodation is extended time. What if we allowed additional time to any student? Or didn't time at all? If speed isn't what we're assessing, extended time doesn't change the standard. #LeadInclusion#SBLchat#TG2Chat#EdChat#ATAssessment
Who knew research on growth mindset maths would be controversial. “Milgram invited me to his office and told me not to talk about my research results in America as American teachers are “too weak” to be able to work in the ways shown to be effective.”(2/2) joboaler.people.stanford.edu
I am inspired by @joboaler for sharing a timeline of attacks on her important work improving mathematics instruction. I’ve understood through first hand experiences how challenging it is to be a woman and a change agent in education. (1/2)
Still over here making my own dreams come true by creating space for brilliant educators across northern Illinois to gather. Save the date. Make it a date. Give this to yourself. August doesn’t have to start with anxiety. 💛 #PairedLearningPresentsNurtureinstagram.com/p/CqboZ3uM6Nx/…
