Annual Visible Learning Conference is off to a great start with opening keynote from John Hattie! #AVL2018

If you can’t tell... I’m elated to be at the Visible Learning Conference. Life long learner! #AVL2018

Amazing keynote presentation from Dr. Marcia Tate! “If students aren’t learning the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn.”

“Data doesn’t replace judgment, data demands judgment.” Excellent keynote from James Nottingham! #AVL2018

Zaretta Hammond leads the afternoon keynote for the Visible Learning Conference! Excellent presentation on equity outcomes through culturally responsive teaching. Zaretta Hammond #AVL2018

Love reflecting on how I’m currently using Inquiry-based Learning in my classroom and what I can challenge myself to do more of for my students. Trevor MacKenzie #edtechteam

Using powerful provocation to spark curiosities, wonders, and passions in our students! Trevor MacKenzie #edteachteam

#equals Partnership principles ensure connectivity and powerful learning is the result.

When you commit to something bigger than yourself you rise to a level much higher than yourself.

Grit? What is it? I believe it’s driven by love. Inspired by vision and purpose. Fueled by optimism and belief. Powered by faith and hope. Revived by resilience. Kept alive by stubbornness. And if we’re honest includes some fear of failure and desire to prove oneself.

Mondays are a great day to focus on what we GET TO do instead of what we HAVE TO do. Life is a gift, not an obligation.

So excited to be back! #makeadifference Naperville 203

Today I reached out to our 5th grade Elmwood student leaders to help solve a dilemma on whether we should serve chocolate milk during lunch. I can’t wait to read their thoughtful arguments to help make an informed decision! (This is a writing assignment) #wemakeadifference

Started the am with an inspirational visit from author Ann E. Burg. Our 5th grade students asked so many thoughtful questions about her book Unbound. Thank you Ms. Burg and 5th grade teachers for organizing this event for our students! #wemakeadifference #203unites DualLulic

Pursue mental health over mental toughness. Your mental health is more vital than the allure of strength. It’s okay to not be okay, but don’t let yourself stay there for too long. You are loved.
