E-Learning

2020 was the year some parents added "teacher" to their resume. This is a school year like no other. So many parents are stepping into roles they never thought they'd ever have. It's new, it's stressful, it's a lot. But parents - you're doing amazing...

There's nothing better than being excited to go to work every day because you just love what you do. That is most definitely the case for our brand new teacher of the week. She makes the classroom such a great experience one of her students came home one day and asked to write a nomination letter for his teacher to be our next Teacher of The Week...

Do you remember the feeling of going to your grandparents house when you were little? It was filled with so much fun and love, you never wanted to leave! Well, a lot of kids are spending their school days at their grandparents house this year...

Taking on the role of "teacher" for your family during this pandemic is such an incredible act. Taking on that role for your family AND your best friend's family? Sounds like something out of a movie. But it's actually happening right here in Rockford...

A lot of parents currently have a role in their kid's life they never thought they'd have - teacher. But every single person who has stepped into that role is doing amazing. Our new Teacher of The Week is a parent turned at-home teacher for her son and she's doing an awesome job...

I think one thing that makes teachers extra special is their ability to adapt to any situation. This has always been true even since way before the pandemic started. But 2020 really put every single teacher to the test. This wasn't just adapting to something that happened in a day...

I feel like a good phrase to describe the 2020-21 school year is "All hands on deck". Our brand new Teacher of The Week answered that all hands on deck call and has gone above and beyond for her family ever since. From daycare owner, to teacher, our new teacher is wearing ALL of the educational hats this year...

I don't think any teacher was prepared for what teaching in 2020 is like. But even so, every teacher has gone above and beyond for their students to make sure they are learning and their days feel as normal as they possibly can. Our new Teacher of The Week knows that online learning can be hard for kids, and she makes sure that her students are given opportunities to bond like they normally would.

"Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life" This quote reminds me SO much of our new Teacher of The Week. Her passion is so genuine and it's one of the many reasons she was nominated and chosen to be our new 97ZOK Teacher of The Week...

If you're one of the over 100,000 Illinois teachers who will be teaching from home, this simple innovation is a must-have.
