“I’d rather she knew”.
Students believing in their teachers is helpful, and gives us much needed validation. But..
Students believing in themselves is actually empowering, for both of us.
It is so important for us to let the students find their confidence…

“I’m actually smart.”
I knew.
But I’d rather she knew.
Rather she say it.
Rather she believe it.
A few days earlier.
“I’m stupid.”
The difference?
Time. Support. Patience.
The grade on the page isn’t the measure.
It’s the action after.
Feedback.
Response.
Learning.
This. And just this. Put away your points. You can teach mistakes and even “accountability for mistakes” without penalizing points.

@IHSAChess @CM201UAthletics Round 1 is underway for the Crete-Monee chess team in Peoria at state. We are playing Andrew High School, a close program to ours who we respect for lasting success. Our young team will get some valuable experience!
So our day didnt go as planned. We lost to Moline 36.5-31.5 when we miscounted and didnt want take the draw which would have won it. Then we lost to Metamora 36.5-29.5 because we took draws when we needed a win to clinch it. Process >Product. @IHSAChess @CM201UAthletics

Let’s see if the Warriors can close out the state meet with a win. Taking on TF South in the final round. @CM201UAthletics @IHSAChess
The Crete-Monee Warrior chess team did it! They defeated New Trier to achieve their first ever 5 win state tournament! This special group of 7 seniors finish their four year run with a 16-12 record at the state tournament. @CM201UAthletics @IHSAChess
Crete-Monee chess clinched their third straight 4 win state tournament with a clutch victory over LWE. They go for their first 5 against New Trier. David v Goliath! @CM201UAthletics @IHSAChess
For only the second time in school history does the Crete-Monee chess team have a winning record after 5 rounds after defeating Sterling. In round 6 the Warriors are matched up with a close south suburb rival Lincoln-Way East. @IHSAChess @CM201UAthletics
Round five has started. The Warriors start with a traditionally very strong Sterling team. @CM201UAthletics @IHSAChess
Chicago Parker was a great opponent and we took a tough loss to them. Every team who beat us this year is either 4-0 or 3-1 in this state tournament. So round five begins the grind. We are 10-0 against teams with two wins. Can we keep that going? @CM201UAthletics @IHSAChess
Round three opponent: defending state champion Stevenson was too much for the warriors. But now they seek a Crete-Monee first: going 3-1 on day one. Round four opponent is Chicago Parker who has already brought down one big opponent today…@CM201UAthletics @IHSAChess
After a heart-stopping 35-33 victory over Huntley, the 2-0 Warriors take their seats against #5 Stevenson @CM201UAthletics @IHSAChess
