Each year, #NationalCoachesDay recognizes coaches for building better people!
Traditionally, this day focuses around coaches who make our kids better at sports but here in @D99Cicero, we have coaches who help our teachers become better teachers!
We want to thank them all! 💙
May our Sharks keep screaming for joy like this for years to come. @iReady, if you need a professional Plory, we’ve got you covered. @CptNiersbach doesn’t just give a wave, he and Ms. Rotolo pump up the kids w quite the performance. @D99Cicero and @efpawlak, thanks for the fun.
ASSEMBLIES ARE BACK! Sherlock’s PBS team helped review school-wide expectations while also honoring our students’ bilingual superpowers! Listen to the screams of joy! Shout outs to @CptNiersbach and Mr. Garcia for pumping us up in both Spanish and English! @D99Cicero
Why do teachers stop loving their jobs?
There are many reasons, but it is clear we can do more as #edadmin, parents, and general public to help.
Education can & should be the most rewarding and fulfilling profession, we need to help remove all we can that distracts from that.
To all the educators I’m seeing on Twitter doing all of these amazing things to get ready for next year - please make sure you stop long enough to recharge and reset. A great bulletin board or amazing exit ticket system will never make the same impact as a rested teacher.
"If you are going to get the best educator for your school, you have to do your best to see how they are in an environment that is most like your school or the school you want to create.

Word of mouth referrals tend to bring the best candidates! If you know of an elementary bilingual certified teacher looking to join a team of dedicated and HAPPY teachers, please let me know. As principal, I know I am biased, but Sherlock in Cicero has a truly phenomenal team.
