LINDSAY ZILLY

As an edtech working mom of five, I have mastered the art of multitasking. I can create content, facilitate a virtual learning session, and break up a sibling argument all while keeping a pot of coee brewing. When I’m not revolutionizing the education system, you can ind me binge-reading educational documentaries and trying to convince my kids to appreciate the beauty of a well-organized lesson plan.


I am a lifelong learner and for the past 17 years, I have had the privilege of creating meaningful professional learning experiences for students and educators. I help connect teachers to experts and provide instructional support for educators. I have been a Director of Professional Learning, an instructional technology coach, an intermediate school teacher and am now a Senior Program Strategist. In every role I take on, I work towards fostering a culture of innovation in today’s generation and partner with them to be responsible and ethical life-long learners of the digital age.

Online Courses

We provide timely and relevant support to educators in their journey to meet the ever-increasing demands of teaching and leading through a variety of synchronous and asynchronous online workshops. All offerings provide participants with research-based, relevant resources and help address the critical issues facing educators today. 

 

Through these opportunities, educators are empowered to make immediate and long-lasting changes in their professional practice to help increase student achievement while also meeting their social and emotional needs.

 

Administrator Academies

By statute, every administrator must complete a minimum of one approved academy annually and a minimum of five in each administrator certificate renewal period. 

 

The Illinois Online Academy provides a range of online academies that meet this criteria while providing research-based strategies to help you on you journey. Topics range from combatting educator burnout, meeting and presentation tips, restorative practices, and more.
