Great talk by @mmanderino of @NIUCOE on reclaiming our expertise as #literacy leaders at the @ILReadCouncil conference in sunny Springfield IL @cfc_nilesk12

Excited for the “Interrogating Hierarchies” closing panel at #LRAConference2023 and especially @spars00 talk on hierarchies within the #SoR movement @GeorgeMasonU #LRA2023

Thanks to @mmanderino of @NIUCOE sharing his design-based research with Sakeena Khan of @CITYCOLLEGECHI, where they enact DBR as a relational and reciprocal process for achieving justice #LRAConference2023 #LRA2023

Sam David of University of Minnesota @UMNresearch shared his fascinating Design-Based Research on the TRANSLATE approach to translanguaging pedagogy at our #LRAConference2023 Study Group

Great session at our Design-Based Research study group at #LRAConference2023 by Elizabeth Isidro and Kristhyna Fermin of @WesternMichU on participatory DBR within a family biliteracy program

Very cool “A day in the life of a student” panel at @NTHSD219 Institute Day. Students emphasized the importance of being able to bring their full selves to the classroom

Had a great year as Director of K-8 Literacy with @cfc_nilesk12, serving the future students of @NTHSD219. A big thank you to our partner districts, @SkokieSD69, #Inspire67 and @NTDSE and their leaders and #teachers for making me feel so welcome. Have a fantastic summer! 🌴☀️📚

Grade level leaders and coaches from @MadisonSD69 hard at work revising our #literacy scope and sequence to respond to student needs and better align reading and writing instruction @SkokieSD69 @D69_LitCoach @Mrs__Sand @cfc_nilesk12

So proud to have taught this group! @NCENLU was fortunate to partner with @D15Schools and all of these amazing #bilingual literacy educators @NationalLouisU

Great ideas from @misskoziel of @LincJrHi to strengthen reading conferences- pair students with similar reading goals (e.g analyzing character development) have a notebook ready with models of graphic organizers, share the date for the next conference @Schoolwide @cfc_nilesk12

Love how @misskoziel of @LincJrHi created a simple and inviting way for students to share their memoirs - they pick their favorite sections and an image and add them to a shared slide deck, then pick four classmates to give positive feedback @Schoolwide @SkokieSD69 @cfc_nilesk12

Fascinating talk at #AERA2023 by @ShanyceCampbell and Naeisha McClain of @PittTweet about “thin equity” and “thick equity” approaches to teacher preparation. Mentor teachers must model what it means to be a change agent @AERA_EdResearch

Love to see student leadership within the @wilsonlanguage #Fundations program!

The amazing @SkokieSD69 @EdisonDolphins #teachers hard at work on choosing texts for their common formative #literacy assessments @cfc_nilesk12

Your board looks great! Congrats all to of my former @NCENLU students. So nice to see your smiling faces again. You are going to change the world for the students and communities you serve!

Love the way Mrs. Connolly uses the smartboard to have her second graders track where they are in writing process during writing workshop! @SkokieSD69 @cfc_nilesk12 @MadisonSD69 @Schoolwide
