East Aurora School District 131 invited the 2024 Illinois Teacher of the Year, Dr. Rachael Mahmood, to talk to teachers and staff from all the D131 schools during Institute Day on Janary 13, 2025. Dr. Mahmood presented her “Cultivating Belonging: Engaging School Community through Dialogue and Action” initiative called “World Café” at East Aurora High School to help bring educators together to foster a greater sense of belonging within their school community.
This innovative discussion model sparked meaningful dialogue and action plans that can lead to tangible improvements in school culture, student achievement, family satisfaction, and teacher retention.“Creating a positive school culture and climate is not just an aspirational goal — it is the foundation for academic achievement and a critical factor in supporting teacher retention,” said State Superintendent Dr. Tony Sanders. “I applaud Dr. Mahmood’s work in fostering a sense of belonging within our school communities. When educators, students, and families feel truly connected and valued, we set the stage for success so students can thrive and grow.”
“Every educator has a unique story about what drew them to teaching and why they choose to stay,” said Dr. Mahmood. “The World Café model draws out these
powerful stories, inviting educators to share their experiences and ideas, helping to identify meaningful actions that increase belonging and strengthen the profession. Belonging is deeply personal, and the key to understanding what it takes for educators to join and remain in the profession lies in listening to their stories and suggestions.”
EASD 131 educators were also recognized by Dr. Mahmood during these sessions for their dedication and academic achievements in helping students reach their full potential! Congratulations to the following EASD 131 educators:

El Distrito Escolar 131 de East Aurora invitó a la Maestra del Año de Illinois 2024, Dra. Rachael Mahmood, a hablar con los maestros y el personal de todas las escuelas del D131 durante el Día del Instituto el 13 de enero de 2025. La Dra. Mahmood presentó la iniciativa “Cultivando la pertenencia: involucrando a la escuela y comunidad a través del diálogo y la acción” llamada “World Café” en East Aurora High School para ayudar a reunir a los educadores y fomentar un mayor sentido de pertenencia dentro de su comunidad escolar.
Este innovador modelo de discusión generó un diálogo significativo y planes de acción que pueden conducir a mejoras tangibles en la cultura escolar, el rendimiento estudiantil, la satisfacción familiar y la retención de maestros. “Crear una cultura y un clima escolar positivos no es solo una meta a la que se aspira: es la base para logro académico y un factor crítico para apoyar la retención de maestros”, dijo el Superintendente Estatal Dr. Tony Sanders. “Aplaudo el trabajo de la Dra. Mahmood para fomentar un sentido de pertenencia dentro de nuestras comunidades escolares. Cuando los educadores, estudiantes y familias se sienten verdaderamente conectados y valorados, preparamos el escenario para el éxito para que los estudiantes puedan prosperar y crecer”.
“Cada educador tiene una historia única sobre lo que lo atrajo a la enseñanza y por qué deciden quedarse”, dijo la Dra. Mahmood. “El modelo del World Café saca a la luz estos historias poderosas, invitando a los educadores a compartir sus experiencias e ideas, ayudando a identificar acciones significativas que aumenten la pertenencia y fortalezcan la profesión. La pertenencia es profundamente personal y la clave para comprender lo que se necesita para que los educadores se unan y permanezcan en la profesión en escuchar sus historias y sugerencias”.
¡Los educadores de EASD 131 también fueron reconocidos por la Dra. Mahmood durante estas sesiones por su dedicación y logros académicos para ayudar a los estudiantes a alcanzar su máximo potencial!
