The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) launched a new podcast that will celebrate extraordinary educators and connect schools with great ideas while learning remotely. Called We Love Illinois Schools, the podcast will showcase the creativity and agility of the people who work in and around education in Illinois. The podcast will share resources and opportunities to inspire teachers, administrators, students, and families. “The current stay-at-home order has changed how we reach out to and communicate with educators,” said State Superintendent of Education Dr. Carmen I. Ayala. “Students are learning remotely, teachers are working from home, and the conferences and events we normally host are canceled or postponed. But when one door closes, we look for a window. ISBE’s podcast gives us another way to connect with and inspire educators and students. I am constantly amazed by Illinois’ teachers and students, and I am happy to share another avenue to celebrate and support their efforts.” Listen to We Love Illinois Schools on the ISBE website at www.isbe.net/podcast.
