Illinois has 10 of the top 50 high schools in the country according to today’s @247WallSt! Congratulations to these high schols! @ISBEnews @GovPritzker

Don't think morale is important for adults? Do you think students learn better in a classroom where the teacher is valued, appreciated, supported, and celebrated, or a classroom where the teacher feels isolated, disrespected and hanging on by a thread?

ALT "The most important qualities of any educator are not adequately captured on a resume. It is hard to quantify passion, energy, dedication, patience, perseverance, and love… but in the classroom… those qualities make all the difference in the world." — Danny Steele, Educator

Today’s neuroscience-focused session on “The Battle for Dopamine” highlighted and modeled the importance of inquiry-based learning to win back our students attention. Very validating of our district’s efforts! @MiddletownPS @mikulakmacd @InnovationMPSCT @dkraftmps #learnfwd23

Admin, as the year continues,remember Maslow's hierarchy is not just for students. Teachers/ staff need:
1) feel safe / supported
2) emotional connection/ relationship
3) respect
4) feel seen/ heard
5) appreciation
What else?

Teach people how to lose. Losing doesn’t mean quitting, pouting, blaming or tantrums. It doesn’t mean “feel good” trophies. It means you have some work to do. It means coming back tomorrow & trying again. You can’t be a great winner without knowing how to lose & learning from it!

As we end a tough year, admin, coaches & teachers should consider conducting a retrospective to answer 4 Qs:
✨What worked?
✨What didn't work?
✨Lessons learned?
✨Wonderings?
Reflection + Discussion + Action
