Our day SullivanWestES started with an informational presentation from FFA members from Mark Plescia @SullivanWestHS thank you Paddy McCarthy for arranging this. Kathleen Bressler

Amazing opening night of Anything goes Mark Plescia @SullivanWestHS great talent on that stage ❤️

Started my day with this well-spoken group of seniors at #SullivanWest. The future looks bright when you hear the passion and dedication in their voices to make a difference. Looking sharp in red, they also gave a shameless plug for Color Wars tonight! Good luck to all grades!

6th grade is the winner of Color war during March Madness Friday with almost 100% participation SullivanWestES!!

Beautiful day for baseball.. let’s go Bulldogs!!! @SWCSDAthletics

What would happen if the billions spent annually on standardized testing was instead spent to fund more field trips, classroom supplies, updated furniture, after-school programs, and support services? Would this lead to better results and more success than all of that testing?

Our 6th grade continuing with the RULER today, painting rocks for their Emotional Rock Garden. Stay tuned for final product pics. Dawn_Hauschild Michele Brockner NBCT Kathleen Bressler #sullivanwest #RULER

Is there a Dr in the house? There was today in 6th grade ELA today. What better way to discuss character analysis then to do a character autopsy. #SullivanWest

I gave a keynote last night to about 600 science teachers. Inside my head at the start of the talk: Don’t say it. Don’t say it. Don’t say it. What I said anyway: a neutron walked into a bar and asked for a drink. The bartender said, for you, no charge.

Want better schools? Support educators.

If we do whatever it takes to get new hires, but do nothing to keep veterans, it will destroy team culture and create resentment among veterans.

What if grading could wait this holiday? What if planning more lessons, organizing your work, and trying to catch up on everything waited until the New Year? Sometimes the best use of our time comes from not being productive. Sometimes we need to give ourselves space to just be.

Dear parents...

❤️💙

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I found a lot of lucky leprechauns wandering around this morning! Enjoy the day Bulldogs! SullivanWestCSD
