How does leading through joy help us to address our authentic, passionate, and transformative dilemmas? Last week, NCS #principals convened around this essential question for our annual Principals’ Retreat.

[Network for College Success @NCSChicago]

NCS was proud to host over 200 #educators and #education leaders from across the country this week at the Networks for School Improvement Community of Practice (NSI CoP)! Together, we are digging into #leadership practices that better serve young people. #NCSChicago

[Dr. O. Casas (He/Él) @OCasas9]

Shoutout to the talented professors at NLU🫶🏾 like @gloriamhall, @Dangelaccio, @eminor720, @mikelubelfeld, @marcusacampbell, and Dr. Stegemoller.

We just wrapped up our #principal retreat and are feeling ✨inspired and energized✨! During our time together, #NCSChicago partner Principals explored the 4 roots of #antiracist leadership, developed practices to support #equitablelearning, and took some time to recharge.

Thank you to Randy and others across our city dedicating their lives to improving, saving and honoring the lives of our young people.

The compassion that Randy Sadler brings to the job of assessing children experiencing mental health crises is remarkable. But also he's frustrated. He wishes the mental health supports were there to do more.

A WBEZ investigation finds that Illinois’ lifeline program for suicidal kids is buckling under the weight of a youth mental health crisis. The state is failing to ensure low-income kids get the intensive support they need. @SSKedreporter @kschorsch https://t.co/hxNxQPmsuA

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

It seems as though many people, including celebrities, influencers, and corporations, have moved on from eradicating anti-Black racism.

Or was it ever real?

Injustice concerning another group shouldn’t = moving on from stopping racism against Black people.

This can’t wait.

The state senate just passed a bill allowing Chi principals to unionize. Now just need Pritzker endorsement. Waiting to talk to @TroyLaraviere at @ChiPrincipals

When students and parents tell you they have experienced racism, you need to listen.

Happy to see my former @CMABEagles students among this group of schools! Feels like just yesterday I welcomed them as 9th graders. Way to go class of 2022! 🎉💚🦅
