Quote of the Day: PLCs & Research

There is no lack of research for those who seek to promote discussion of effective teaching. The issue is whether or not educators are prepared to accept their responsibilities to work together to become proficient consumers of that research. A professional learning community will fulfill that responsibility by ensuring that frequent and focused discussions on teaching and learning are the standard practice in its school.

Inbox Zero for Principals

Jocelyn at the AWSP blog The Comp Book points out the relevance of Merlin Mann’s Inbox Zero presentation for principals. Mann’s audience is typically the Silicon Valley crowd, but his advice for handling a high volume of email is equally applicable to school leaders.
At the 2007 WASA-AWSP Summer Conference, I gave a presentation entitled “Productivity for School Administrators: Managing the Four Inboxes,” which I will post here soon. I hope to present this material again in the near future as I continue to refine my processes for handling email and the other work that shows up each day.
