Chicago KICS Football Club’s Post

Somehow, summer always manages to fly by. That's why we created an end of summer checklist to help you game plan for the next season ahead. Ask one of our associates today how we can help you meet each mark before back to school enters into full swing!

Last day of school for these two. We are so proud of how they navigated the challenges and growth this year threw their way. A few lessons learned… 1 - TAKE CHANCES Start swim team as a freshman? Why not? Interview for the yearbook staff? Go for it! These kids tried new things, had a blast and surprised all of us with their success. When was the last time you took a chance? 2 - DON’T UNDERVALUE YOURSELF We encouraged both kids to audition/interview for roles that were outside their capabilities. They gave it a shot for the “experience”. We ended up with a Sugar Plum Fairy and Cross Country Captain. Don’t talk yourself out of something because of your age or experience. Others see your integrity, talent and work ethic. 3 - SOME SEASONS ARE HARD Both kids fought injuries that impacted their competitive seasons. They learned how to rest, recover, strengthen, and stretch while giving themselves grace. Take care of yourself no matter what season you are in. 4 - GO ALL IN ON SCHOOL SPIRIT Have you been to a high school football game on Neon Night?! These kids go all out! Dress up in neon head to toe, grab your friends and go cheer for your team. We all need more of that!

Nothing like working with two fantastic sets of teams in one day! Can't wait to work with folks at Kirklees College on assessment and feedback strategies, focusing on: ✅ empowering student progress through feedback ✅ slashing staff workload through innovative self and peer assessment ✅ tracking progress over time ✅ the massive impact of low stakes assessment ✅ questioning strategies to turbo charging student thinking If you'd like to discuss how we can work together to support your team's needs (no matter the subject), get in touch!

Happy #Pride! Take a CEU...maybe SAVE A LIFE? Trevor Project (2019) notes that it takes just 1 #affirming person in the life of a young #LGBTQIA+ human to reduce the risk of self-harm and suicide from 3x that of their heteronormative peers. It's widely known that #Autism has a HUGE overlap with #queerness, and that many -- if not most -- #Autistic adults identify as somewhere on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum. Strang, et al. (2018) noted that Autistic adults with Gender Dysphoria were the most likely group of humans to commit suicide, per meta review. Help them feel good in their own skin by modeling and teaching their systems affirming care models that remain within our behavior-analytic scope. **ALSO -- Maxi Glamour (they/fae/them) is one of the most incredible drag artists out there, and their story is incredible!!** #drag #culturalhumility #narratives #continuingeducation #bcba #bcaba #rbt #aba #appliedbehavioranalysis

"Beyond The Field has the SECRET SAUCE." Reshawn Bell came to Beyond The Field after discovering what player development was. He wanted to create a plan. He purchased a course investing in himself professionally. A few months later he accepted the Player & Alumni Engagement Fellowship with the San Francisco 49ers. “Beyond The Field has a secret sauce man. There’s something that Ed is doing that is reaching people and helping people in the field of player engagement. So, if you want to grow in your knowledge, you’re understanding or even connections in this field. I’m telling you jump into the course jump or into some coaching.” Do YOU need help creating a Player Development Plan? We are here to help YOU.

💎 Forget diamond tiaras and swimming pools with sharks (though those would be epic)! We just dropped, as the kids say, a fire MTV-Cribs style video showcasing franchise ownership at The Goddard School's annual franchisee convention. 🤘 We're divided between the stocked fridge with Yoo-hoo and other drinks and the indoor basketball court...but we want to know what part of the tour would make you say, "Cribs, yo, this is the life!"? 🕶️ Tell us in the comments below!👇 #EarlyChildhoodEducation #FranchiseDevelopment #VideoProduction #PeopleFocused #CorporateVideoProduction #FranchiseMarketing

I never imagined a year ago I'd be introducing 13 year olds to Henrietta Lacks and now I can't envision doing anything else. In true overachiever style, I've crammed ~14 months of training, education, test-taking, and coursework into <7 months. While there were tons of boxes to check, forms to submit, and papers to sign, it's rarely felt like work. My brain is tired but my heart is so full. Lessons learned: 1) 8th graders are the best. No contest. 2) Stanleys hold A LOT of fluid. 3) Stickers are popular at any age. 4) Everyone wants to be loved. 5) If something feels off, it's because it is. Give them 5 minutes. 6) Fishing Frenzy is the best of all the Blookets. 7) You can make it more challenging without giving more work. 8) Teenagers can seemingly survive on Takis and Craisins. 9) Let them name the class fish. 10) "The braver I am, the luckier I get."
