IGKNIGHT 2018 Weekly update

We are up to 353 total registrations for IGKNIGHT on November 19th!  Don't forget that today is the last day to register to be entered into the raffle for an IGKNIGHT trucker hat!

We are going to be shifting sign-in to the KHS East Gym to provide a better traffic flow, make sure there's enough room for both sign in and the health fair, and show off that brand new gym floor!  Remember, sign in will be from 7-8am with a prompt 8am start time for our keynote speaker--Myrond Dueck.  Don't forget that you'll need your IEIN number to sign in, so make sure you've got that handy!

Due to popular demand, we are going to offer a 2pm "Managing Student Behavior--The ACEs Effect" from the IEA.  That session has been filling up fast, so if you want to change your schedule to take advantage make sure to sign in and do so soon; there were already 6 of 30 seats taken when I just checked!

We've also added another session at 2:00 entitled "PERA, Sequence of Honorable Dismissal, and You:  An Overview."  Director of Human Resources Chris Adkins will explain some of the recent changes in IL law that have impacted our evaluation process, how we've implemented those here at Kaneland, and what impact those changes might have on you.  He'll also be available to answer any questions you might have.

We are still waiting to hear back from a few different food options and still keeping our fingers crossed that we'll be able to provide some on-site options for you.  However, even if there is no food there will still be plenty to do as we've been able to confirm the following visitors who will be setting up booths during the lunch period:

  • Aurora University (available cohorts)
  • Northern Illinois University (available cohorts)
  • Scholastic (teacher tools, especially ELA)
  • NEA (membership questions)
  • IMRF (retirement questions)
  • TRS (retirement questions)
  • Kane County Teachers Credit Union (services for educators)
  • Classroom Rescue (behavioral techniques and strategies)
  • Kaneland Performing Arts Boosters (apparel)
  • Kaneland Sports Boosters (apparel)
