Since April is Autism acceptance month I thought I share this and how you can celebrate 6 ways this month. Like include autistic people into the conversation and to advocate for them to get the resources they deserve to live a well rounded life. ♾️❤️ #AutismAcceptance

I'm curious--how many weeks off do teachers in your school/district ACTUALLY have? Not counting PD days or other days in which you are required to work...how long is summer break?

It was a busy day at the PERC with the mobile DMV. These amazing individuals supported 40 students with obtaining their REAL ID/State ID. Big thanks to @ILSecOfState

What a great day @ABC7Chicago today. I had the wonderful privilege to meet three wonderful educators & my new pal, John! I hope you enjoy meeting them too, right here! Hello everyone @KirkSchoolNSSEO . Thank you Autumn Olin for contacting me! abc7chicago.com/palatine-kirk-…

This morning, our eWorks crew was operating at full speed, disassembling computer towers and carefully sorting the components for recycling and reuse.

Last night, our Transition/Vocational team shared some amazing transition resources and modeled how students move up the voc continuum @kirkschool.

Students remember some of their teachers. They remember the ones who cared, the ones who were silly, the ones who tried to connect with students, the ones who always seemed to love their job. EVERY teacher has the opportunity to be memorable.

What an incredible experience to watch the @Cubs & Cardinals play in London 🇬🇧⚾️ #LondonSeries #mlb #oldrivarlynewgrounds

Had a great time seeing former students at the Leyden Resource Center for Adults Fundraiser.

And that’s a wrap! It’s been an amazing 2 years full of growth, friendships, & student accomplishments that will stay with me forever. But as one door closes, another opens & I can't wait to see what is waiting for me in my new role as a transition specialist.
