Staff Spotlight
What is your name? Lindsay Hackman
What department do you teach in/ How long have you been teaching at BG? I teach part-time in Social Science. This is my 20th year at BG!
Where did you go to high school? Prospect High School (Go Knights!)
What part of teaching do you find the most rewarding? I LOVE the subject matter that I teach. Psychology is so relevant to our lives both in and out of school and it's rewarding when students notice/share how Psych has "followed them home!" I might be biased but it's the. best. class.
What new thing have you learned this year teaching remotely? I think my biggest take-away is that no matter how much time you spend to be prepared/organized/effective, the Wifi will fail....Schoology will decide it's taking the day off....your iPad will decide it no longer wants to be in your Zoom....tech issues will arise! As a semi- "control freak," I've had to learn how to scramble. Also, I've learned that I don't love my recorded voice. :)
What are you currently reading, and/ or do you have a favorite author or podcast? Well, I'm currently reading AP Psych free-response essays but, over Spring Break, I got back to reading Marie Kondo's "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up." Sorting and purging is on my list of summer projects so I'm trying to get myself motivated. My husband wants to toss everything we own, and I can argue that a toy we haven't touched in years holds sentimental value...
What activities or clubs do you coach/ sponsor? I currently do not sponsor or coach, but for my first 7 years, I coached both competitive and sideline cheerleading.
What is something unique about you? Despite the fact that I don't like cold weather, or sports played in cold weather, my son plays travel hockey and my twin daughters are competitive figure skaters. I started skating at the same time I started walking, and it's been such a gift to share the ice with my kiddos. Nowadays we are at a rink roughly 10 hours/week. And, the rink is cold...it's just a controlled kind of cold.

Boys volleyball: Buffalo Grove sweeps Hersey
The Daily Herald, April 27, 2021
Ask any high school coach of any sport or any level and they'll be quick in telling you how much they've missed doing those jobs since the COVID-19 pandemic put prep sports on hold 13 months ago. "You tell them and you remind them this is what you missed last year," Buffalo Grove boys volleyball coach Tim Kosiek said. "You missed the experience of coming in here into the gym playing one if your biggest rivals and you need to embrace that. You need to stay loose and enjoy that cause these are memories." Read Story
No pause -- just applause -- for innovative D214 theater
The Daily Herald, April 22, 2021
Buffalo Grove High School began the school year with an outdoor production of "Love/Sick." The technical crew installed a stage on the school's football field, and the cast performed for a socially distanced audience in the bleachers. According to Buffalo Grove High School senior Samantha Macauley, the cast practiced safety precautions such as virtual rehearsals and staying socially distanced while onstage.
"What worked was being outside," Macauley said. "It made it more real because we were able to have an audience. I think that was a great scenario" Read Story
