T, Ed.D. Talks

Bringing this awesome @BTS_twt article from @kci_w back to your feeds! That’s me cheesing! 💜 verygoodlight.com/2020/08/23/how…

We’re Cooking Up Greatness with Jessica Suarez Nieto, 2025 Illinois Bilingual Teacher of the Year! Jessica invites her students to the curriculum circle, where math meets meaning. Through topics like social justice, her students take the lead, discovering how math connects us!

Up next on our Cooking Up Greatness feature is Heidie B. W. Dunn, 2025 Far North Suburbs Regional Teacher of the Year! In Heidie’s classroom, students don’t just learn, they teach, question, and lead through student tutorials and Socratic seminars where every voice matters!

Today’s Cooking Up Greatness spotlight features Tracy Selock, East Central Regional Teacher of the Year! Tracy uses Notice and Wonder to create a learning space where students slow down, observe deeply, and share ideas confidently.

We’re Cooking Up Greatness with Jennifer Gross, the 2025 Illinois Special Education Teacher of the Year from District 215! Her recipe: the Gradual Release of Responsibility — I do, we do, you do. Because in her class, scaffolding isn’t just instruction… it’s empowerment.

As we close out Teacher Appreciation Week, hear from former ILTOYs, our ILSTOY executive committee/leadership team—dedicated champions of our profession who work tirelessly to celebrate educators. To every teacher reading this: we see you, & we’re grateful for all you do!

@rafranzdavis This was also my journey to accepting it!

I have to admit that the gnarly song has grown on me. Their performance was crazy good. I’m not streaming it but I think I get it now?
