With states & districts making tough budget decisions in response to COVID-19, we’ve joined more than a dozen groups to tell leaders to prioritize our most vulnerable students as we look towards the coming school year. Read the press release to learn more: https://t.co/p9BIRQa0xE

Almost a year to the day since my dissertation defense @UIC_CollegeofEd and my study with Marie Tejero Hughes was published! https://t.co/LgAGPYAePd

Well said @henrythiele ! “Almost everyone is a first year teacher in this new paradigm” Yes!

[Hank Thiele @henrythiele]

I’m hearing from and seeing a lot of posts from teachers concerned that students are not as engaged as they usually are now that we are working virtually. I have a couple of thoughts on this:

[IL Senate Democrats @ILSenDems]

School bus drivers delivering lunches to students, US mail carriers, those keeping our utilities running - please be sure to thank the unsung heroes of this situation.

[Illinois State Board of Education @ISBEnews]

ISBE and @iarssil have issued guidance on school calendars. Please keep accurate records, but do not worry about calendar coding or revisions at this time. ROEs/ISCs and school districts will address calendars collaboratively in June: https://t.co/PJTohkTZgg

Congratulations to @D15Schools Blue Jay, Olivia, for her 1st place medal at the @SO_Illinois state Snowshoeing Competition!!

[Michael Scaletta @MichaelScaletta]

Good luck to the @D15Schools Blue Jays at the @SO_Illinois State snowshoeing competition! So proud of all your hard work!! #D15Learns

[Ken Wallace @KenWallace207]

Great quote, and this is one of the fault lines leaders have to guard. The first question I ask about any prospective leader is can they have the hard conversations and do the hard (but right) things. Because downwind of this is serving students, the most important fault line.

[Michael Scaletta @MichaelScaletta]

Wishing good luck to our @D15Schools Blue Jays snowshoeing athletes as they compete in today’s regional @SO_Illinois tournament!
