Find out what methods produce instantaneous results.
On the heels of a curriculum instruction update at Thursday's Lincoln-Way Community High School Board of Education meeting, a team of instructional technologists passed out iPads. The board was asked a simple question: Who's you favorite mascot? No, there was no time to review notes or discuss the matter from their seats in the board room at Lincoln-Way Central High School. The question demanded a rapid response, and they each obediently input their responses—Knight, Griffin, Phoenix or Warrior. Serving in the temporary role of teacher, the technology specialist stood before board members and spotted their individual responses in a matter of seconds.

How do you make four high school juniors nervous, anxious and a little bit excited all at the same time? Put them in a room with their principals, the district superintendent and other various staff members.

Early in the 2010-11 school year, the District 122 board of education listed some goals. We recap what can be checked off, such as a new contract with teachers, and what's still in the works, including building projects.
Despite some public disagreements that District 122 board members said were handled poorly, they did come together to accomplish most of the goals they had last year. In November, the New Lenox School District board of education listed numerous goals to accomplish in the 2010-11 academic year. Heading into a new year, there are still a few long-range goals but many that can be checked off. Every summer, school test data comes back, and at the start of a team of people at each school look at what can be improved in that building. A district-wide team find commonalities and puts together a comprehensive list of goals. "It's a grassroots process," Supt. Mike Sass said. "Where are the kids hurting, and how can we help?" The goals were split …
