We honored/celebrated our friend and colleague Janet Huene yesterday at the first Janet Huene Memorial Golf Outing. Her family accepted her 2020 Herman Graves award. Janet’s impact in education and the community never stops. #ibtigerpride@CIV_IPA@ilprincipals
Trauma is a nervous system response to an experience or experiences that our bodies remember but our minds often do not! Awareness of our sensory experiences (sensations) moves us in the direction of growth and out of always protecting!!
Illinois Parents: Schools are trying to follow the rules/mandates given to avoid liability, litigation, and funding loss.
If you are unhappy with the mask mandate at your school, please contact the Speaker of the House and/or the President of the Senate.
Trust me. Not one school administrator or teacher wants to have our students in masks. We have been told that we could lose funding, tort immunity, accreditation if we defy the mandate. Direct your anger at the correct channels and have patience with your school districts.
Please, no matter your stance on COVID-19 prevention strategies, schools are no place for planned violence and/or non-peaceful debate. I have to believe that even the strongest opponent feels the same. To those who are encouraging public dissent, pls do so in a peaceful manner.
Memorization is not in the top ten skills needed today.
Yes, we need knowledge, but we also need to consider that we have instant access to so much information.
If school is about preparing students for the future, we need to shift our focus.
