Join us for our Winter Book Study!

We're excited to announce our next book study, "The Burnout Cure, Learn to Love Teaching Again" by Chase Mielke. In this 4-week study you will not only reflect on what you read, but you will also engage and interact with colleagues, and apply your learning from the book to learn to love teaching again!

Throughout this study we will answer the question, “How do we refuel, reenergize, and reframe to be our best as teachers so we can give our best to learners?” (Mielke, 2019, p.3)

Please note, you do not need to be a Kane County Educator or even an educator in Illinois to participate in this event, we are ALL feeling the burn out and need a little help! This book study will be asynchronous (so everyone with that overly busy schedule can participate) and will kick off on February 28th! Modules will open weekly.

Feel free to check out the schedule for the book study as well as other important logistics here.

Participants must purchase their own book.

Dialogue Is The Difference

Join us on February 8th and 9th as you learn the strategies and skills to effectively disagree rather than avoid or ignore conflict in your personal and professional life. Educators will turn disagreement into dialogue for improved relationships and results. Participants will apply, practice, discuss, and reflect on the 9 powerful skill sets to master dialogue.
