Brilliant People Who Care; Reflections of NAIS '09

Just about a year ago today I was returning from one of my all-time favorite cities, The Big Apple, after attending NAIS’ 2008 Annual Conference. For those that know me well NAIS ‘08 was a life changing event for me professionally. The speakers, the sessions, the ideas and the connections I made have served me well this past year and have dramatically changed how I view that which I do.

Today, as I reflect on the past year and consider how NAIS 2009 has impacted me, I am reminded of a quote fro… Continue

The Challenge of Change; A Symbiotic Relationship

Back in August 2008, as we began the new school year, I gave a short presentation to our faculty and staff on the challenge of change. The reason for the presentation was during that summer we rolled out a new website and a new campus wide database in one fell swoop.

Going in I knew there would be many challenges associated with such wholesale change on a school campus. Perhaps, however, being the ever optimist that I am, I did not foresee how greatly challenge and change were intertwined.

"...when imagination is joined to common purpose"

Regardless of your political beliefs nary a fellow could argue that President Obama penned what could be considered the seven most critical words spoken during his inaugural address.

Why those seven words? For me, those seven words are the key to economic reform in this country. They are the key to political reform in this country. But more critical than any other they are the key to education reform in this country.

We, and by we I mean any administrator, faculty member or student committed t… Continue

Having trouble explaining Twitter, RSS Feeds, Wikis, and the like...

to those faculty and non-techie folks then you might want to check out http://www.commoncraft.com/ a company out of Seattle, WA. They use a simple format and real-world stories to make sense of complex ideas. In short, think of UPS' commercial concept used to explain twitter, RSS feeds, blogs, wikis, social bookmarking, etc.

Here is an excellent example of their twitter explanation - http://www.youtube.com/user/leelefever

Have not read it, Michael, but all reviews sound like it's appropriate for 8th grade at least; maybe advanced 7th grade readers. It seems like there are a lot of layers to this book, some of which may require some frontloading discussions or activ...

I liked Geraldine Fabrikant's 11/7 NYT article, Prep Schools Face Cuts in Student Aid, but to me it is not the most compelling story of the intersection between independent schools and the struggling US economy. To me the most compelling story is...

Joe, I watched the video last night. My reading of his talk is that Cowen is just cautioning us to be aware of how much our minds are wired to fit -often inaccurately- the inputs we are getting from the world into stories. In a nutshell, we need t...
