Humbled and excited to be joining other middle school educators at #AMLE22 and presenting on “Simple Leadership for Complicated Times”

Bessel van der Kolk:
The result of traumatic upbringing: "children who specialize in danger."
This⬇️ It’s to build the hangar
Given how many scenarios are in play for the opening of SY20-21, schools will have to "build five planes in order to fly just one"
@gcouros reminds us that before we build the planes, we need to build the hangar -- those shared values that are present in the design of each plane

So important to have these discussions. Great organization and teamwork.
8th Gr Ss listening to Andy from @goleadco on substance prevention. They drew on knowledge from lessons with @victorcoop599 and made insightful connections with the new material. #WE36 @WashburneD36 @ATFenton
It was a long, strange 4 year journey. Lots of 20 mile marching @lorawolff616, embracing the suck @Laprad_jg, and always remembering to chop wood carry water @JoshuaMedcalf Thanks to so many who helped me get to the finish line this weekend!!! Dream big and dream often @lemonlo2
Love this!!! When and where is the Illinois version? Sign me up. @ilprincipals
What do rock-climbing, rappelling over a 30-foot wall, and trying to find your way through nearly 10 miles of woodland, some of it at night, have to do with running a school? edweek.org/ew/articles/2019/…

After a tough recess last week we held a restorative circle in class, one of my Ss came up with the idea of having an #empathy meter in our room so we can visually see where we are based on our words and actions, should foster #selfawareness #sel. #StudentVoice #KidsDeserveIt

The @WashburneD36 #nerdherd brought home the #JudgesAward from the #Evanston @firstlegoleague qualifying tournament and is headed to #state for the third year in row. Super proud of this incredible group. @NoahJMadden @CWCoLab #we36
Love the trophy! And the mascot.
@ATFenton holds up the very first “Washie”, which is a student- designed and printed trophy of our school namesake, Carleton Washburne. , Ss will be vying for these trophies throughout the year. #WE36 #studentdesign #studentleadership @techknowledgest

It was a great day. So happy to share all the good going on at Washburne. Thank you @RobynGabel Teachers are already excited to plan for your next visit @ilprincipals @ILPrincipalsGR
Illinois Rep. @RobynGabel visited Washburne as part of the The Illinois Principals Association “Principal for a Day” program. Students asked many interesting questions ranging from topics including the lawmaking process, state budget, and taxes. #WE36 @WashburneD36
So, um, this happened today.... #WIU thanks to so many who supported me on this awesome 4 year journey
