September 20, 2024 at Harry Caray’s Italian Steakhouse in Rosemont, Illinois
Dr. Tim Kanold
Educator Wellness: The Heart, Soul, and Joy of Your Impact as a Teacher and Leader!

The 2024-2025 MMC season will begin with a bang. We are thrilled to have Timothy D. Kanold as our opening dinner speaker at our new venue. You will not want to miss this opportunity to be inspired by a renowned speaker and author at Harry Caray’s Italian Steakhouse in Rosemont.

Tim began his math teaching and leading career at West Chicago and Stevenson High School. Tim will be one of only two dinner meetings this season so mark your calendars for a wonderful evening with math friends, an outstanding speaker and a free copy of Tim’s most recent book. His presentation focuses on the holistic well-being of educators, emphasizing the profound impact that teachers and leaders have on their communities. Timothy D. Kanold notes, “Off and on, like me, you will lose connection with the joyful nature of your seasons each school year. Yet, cultivating joy and bringing joy into your workplace experiences season after season can be thrilling and exhausting all in the scope of one season, one month, one week or even one day!” It is possible to be an inspiring, rejuvenated, and empowered teacher of mathematics that helps your students and colleagues to thrive without losing yourself in the process.

Dr. Kanold will be providing each attendee a complimentary copy of his latest book, Educator Wellness: A Guide for Sustaining Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Social Well-Being (2022) 

Dr. Timothy D. Kanold has had a distinguished career in education, serving as a mathematics teacher, Director of Mathematics and Science, Principal, and Superintendent at Stevenson High School District 125 in Lincolnshire. He is a long-time supporter and past member of the MMC. Dr. Kanold is the author of several influential books, including HEART: Fully Forming Your Professional Teaching and Leading Life! (2017), a national bestseller that received the Gold Medal Independent Publishers award in 2018. His other works include SOUL!: Fulfilling the Promise of Your Professional Life (2021), Educator Wellness: A Guide for Sustaining Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Social Well-Being (2022), and the forthcoming Joy: Growing Strong In The Seasons of Life (2025).
