A day off from @BurleySchool is still a day to read (and volunteer in honor of #MLK2019#dayofservice). @109burley has inspired this girl to read, read, read. We ❤️ our teacher and 🐱🐱🐱.
“Counselors instead of guards.” Love this story from @arneduncan’s “How Schools Work”
A school in North Lawndale where the principal’s strategy to reduce violence & increase learning was to use the money allocated for 8-9 new security guards and hire school counselors instead
@mindywillard17 If I never took a break, I could spend 102 minutes total per student over the course of the entire school year. No bathroom, no phone calls/emails, no classroom lessons, no parent meetings, no crisis response, no consultation, no lunch-nothing but minimal face time with students
