Definitely worth a listen. Some important Illinois Public School history here.

The problem with the The Brookings Institution story is in the graph. The debt behind college is not sustainable for our students who face multiple other issues like artifically flattened wages and high housing costs.

Back on the home track at Raceway. Course in perfect shape. Counter and Clockwise cardio loops, first of the season. In better shape than 10 years ago, but a ways to go to get to 2021 and 22 times. Love the CLIMB.

In education this idea comes in many ways, first in the timeless golden rule, later in rhetoric & epistemology. But every day it emerges in the little moments & choices that can either bring us together or push us apart. This world needs more understanding that everyone matters.

Had a great time presenting to the AASA aspiring Principals cohort yesterday with Nick Stoyas to discuss how Maine Township High School District 207 and Elmhurst CUSD 205 are taking different approaches to AI yet asking many of the same questions. Really proud of our amazing teacher leader Greg Reichelt

Always fun to catch up w/ Maine South HS alum Jeff Ikler, host of Getting Unstuck - Cultivating Curiosity Podcast. We share a view: too often we focus on doing the same things better instead of doing better things for students.

If you can imagine better, you can do better.

I 💛 meeting young adults & finding a connection. Yesterday, I met Kamila Kawa, Ken Wallace. This young lady is working in St. Louis while attending SaintLouisUniversity. She’s a Maine Township High School District 207 alumna and is impressive, an awesome reflection of your district. ❤️

The dispositions professed in 'Portrait of a Graduate' profiles that are increasingly common are words on a wall unless we use learning practices to grow the skills needed to create enduring learning traits that last a lifetime and provide conditions for future growth.

Beautiful sunrise this morning. Go greet the day friends!

If we want to change our practice, we have to practice change. Status quo is a learned behavior, but so is growth and continued learning. Both take energy, but one leads to new discovery while the other leads to atrophy.

Dream up.

Asher update: cuter by the day. He loves getting out in the stroller. Can't wait to hug this guy..❤️
