Illinois has 10 of the top 50 high schools in the country according to today’s @247WallSt! Congratulations to these high schols! @ISBEnews @GovPritzker
Huge thank you to the amazing teachers & staff at @LibertyvilleD70 for the support, guidance & wonderful education! Because of the foundation you've provided my oldest will soar next year in HS. I'm bias but @LHS128Principal you are getting a terrific group of freshmen! 🧡🖤 – at Libertyville, IL
Congrats to this wonderful group of seniors. Wherever your shoes take you you'll always have a home back here at VHHS 💙🤍 – at Vernon Hills, IL

Wrapped up our "Make it Stick" series showcasing the amazing ways teachers are using retrieval practice, interleaving, elaboration, & think you can in their own spaces! As always blown away with our amazing staff. #VHWay #inhousePL @vhkclarkelcsw @WattersEdu @MsGarciaVHHS – at Vernon Hills, IL
Love this hands-on, interactive, learning experience! This is what you get when you have talented, creative educators who can create curriculum and tailor learning experiences to their students. Keep up the great work. – at Vernon Hills, IL
Love this along with one of my favorite quotes "the biggest concern for any organization should be when their most passionate people become quiet". – at Vernon Hills, IL
So much fun being a member of the jury in @VHBaranyK Law Class today along with several teachers who took time from their busy day. Students demonstrated strong knowledge and understanding of the case and class concepts. – at Vernon Hills, IL
American Studies students visited the @ihmec on Monday. So grateful that field trips have returned and students are able to have these shared experiences again. @SiobhanSzabo1 @PFriedrich6

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
The best PD happens in house with our Learning Teams! Today we identified Executive Functioning struggles our students are facing and next time we'll start to explore ways to improve these areas. Love working with this group & leave inspired @SiobhanSzabo1 @WMLedu @PFriedrich6
Love when our lunch and learn topics pop up! Power of retrieval to "make it stick". – at Libertyville, IL

What a wonderful surprise to walk out of school on this snowy day and see @JonGuillaumeVH @LynneWexBenson @SchwarzVHHS clearing all the cars in the parking lot. These are the moments that aren't measured but make VH so special and staff feeling appreciated 💙🤍
An important read, "if we really want to support educators—as so many institutions, advocates, and politicians claim to want to do—keeping student behavior in check is an important, too often overlooked place to begin" – at Libertyville, IL
The eradication of discipline in schools is making the teaching profession unsustainable.
Teachers aren't quitting because of "culture wars!" on the internet. They're quitting because terrible behavior is making their jobs miserable every single day.
