@ISBEnews @MolineCVSchools Wait until you see their response rate - along with a number of the schools in Moline - THIS year!!! 🤯 @bprybil

QR codes, daily student patrols, loads of communication + reinforcing the message that every response matters helped @MolineCVSchools drastically improve 5E parent participation in just one year. Bicentennial Elementary increased to 52.8%!

Great way to end my week with my fellow superintendents by giving back at Feed My Starving Children. Love this annual tradition by members of the Superintendents’ Roundtable of Northern Illinois.#dg58pride @troy30c @TerriBresnahan @npolyak @DougWernet @drvsimon

Building relationships is the key to unlocking the true potential of our students. It's through connection, trust, and understanding that we inspire and influence positive behavior.

There sure is a a good degree of ‘all hat no cattle’ out there. ‘All fluff no stuff’🤢 Lots of heroes go about making the necessary and transformative change without the followers and likes… Stay Humble and Hungry or Bust!

@ISBEnews @GowerTweet It’s a choice to actively question and challenge the status quo or be complicit with/accepting of the outcomes. This ain’t a dress rehearsal! ‘Every system is perfectly designed to get the results it gets.’ @UCHICAGOImpact 👏🏼🙏🏼❤️🍎💯

"My advice for admins? Dig in!" That's what Dr. Victor Simon says about the 5Essentials culture and climate survey, happening now through March 24 in schools across Illinois. Hear how he uses it as superintendent of Gower SD 62 @GowerTweet buzzsprout.com/455002/1207029…

@H_Penuelas Perfectly Believable! Let’s keep expanding the network! To those whom much is given… Current State -> Future State

It is unbelievable that I went from not knowing if I would be able to ever attend college after high school to being part of the >1% of Latinos with a doctorate in the USA. 🎓🎓🎓

@PdaleSD @FredRogersInst @GowerTweet As we’ve seen first hand, for years now, ‘Community Issues Require Community Responses’. Glad to help. Good work @dpalzet 🤜🏼💥🤛🏼
English
In a crisis @FredRogersInst reminds us to, “Look for the helpers.” In @PdaleSD we are the helpers! We delivered 2 truck loads with help from @GowerTweet for the local refugee children. Thank you to our student council members for coordinating and our families for donating.

With this year’s official #TeacherAppreciationWeek coming to a close, I encourage you to join me in an ongoing career effort to keep the ‘T’ in Teacher capitalized ALL 👏🏼 YEAR 👏🏼 ROUND 👏🏼 - What they do matters… A lot!!! 🙏🏼🍎💚💙💯 @IHeartCKH @DuPageROE #BeWhatYouWantToSee

Happy to have taken part in the panel session; On the Ground: Local Leaders Discuss the ‘Whys and Hows’ of Spending COVID Aid - Man, these last couple of years have really shown that it’s those whys and hows that matter! 👍🏼🙏🏼❤️ Proud to tell a part of the @GowerTweet story…

ISBE joined @EdWriters for a workshop to help reporters write stories about how local school districts and the state are spending federal relief funds. Check out what you missed at: bit.ly/EWA_ESSER.

You’re most welcome! 👍🏼 Wow! That last line sure rings true as of late: ‘Facing adversity doesn’t build character, it reveals it. This is true for individuals, and the last couple of years have certainly proven this to be true at the organizational level as well.’ 👏🏼❤️💯

@nbeglen We’ll vet the resource a bit first, but I do have familiarity with the site and message. A very close to home topic for me. I wonder if #BeSMART ever thought about a collab with @Everytown or @MomsDemand 🤔 Lots of separate sets of resources out there… 🧡
English
@nbeglen We sure do support and promote common sense messages like the one you’ll find here youtu.be/cdmIZjFVPN0 We’re in this Together. If I’ve said this once, I’ve said it a thousand times: Community Problems Require Community Solutions 🧡🧡🧡

🤔 When a nationwide viral post results in some families keeping kids home because they fear for their safety, we need to elevate the importance of messages like #BeSMART (Secure, Model, Ask, Recognize, Tell) - We’re in this Together!👍🏼 Check it out here: besmartforkids.org

The idea of ‘peeking around the corner’ to get a sense of ‘what’s next’ as a function of organizational learning and leadership is something @learningcounsel explores on the regular😊 I enjoyed collaborating👍🏼thelearningcounsel.com/article/il-oh-…

@PorterSup205 @Ejukator So true! It’s about deliberate and systemic effort. Chart Your Course! Be vigilant at the org level - “Your system is perfectly designed to give you the results that you get.”
English
@PorterSup205 @DrJohnGreenan With Compass launched, ‘emerging stronger’ and ‘making lasting change’ aren’t just platitudes - they are the likely outcomes of a deliberate approach that puts (and keeps) Relationships First! Bravo! 🤜🏼💥🤛🏼
What we do matters!
- “This ain’t no dress rehearsal!” 💯❤️🙏🏼

Connecting with students. Students connecting with each other. Relationships as the foundation of SEL and pandemic recovery. @DrJohnGreenan @drvsimon #besttogether
