I think "why" will be an ongoing conversation involving strategic initiatives.

I have been following your blog and a...Hey Johnny,<br /><br />I have been following your blog and agree with Darcy that I have seen some amazing strides for your school. I really believe that as a principal, you need to be the most visible learner in the school to set the tone for what should be happening in school. You are doing that very well. Keep it up!<br /><br />One suggestion that I would make from this post (as I have not seen the presentation) is starting with "why" you are doing what you are doing. You talk a lot about the "what" and the "how", but I know from experience of being in the situation, and seeing it from afar, if you cannot clearly articulate the impact you expect to have on learning first, you could lose a lot of buy in from your community. For example, you will have Wi-Fi in your school, but many in your own school might see that as a nuisance and quickly ask the students to put their devices away. <br /><br />Maybe ask what learning environment are you trying to create first, then look at the "what" and the "how" so people clearly know why you do what you do.<br /><br />I wish I could say this "why" is my own work, but it is from Simon Sinek. If you have not seen his Ted Talk, I would strongly suggest it for you and any other leader. It is awesome yet makes so much sense. Here is the link:<br /><br />http://www.ted.com/talks/simon_sinek_how_great_leaders_inspire_action.html<br /><br />You are definitely on the right path but I thought that I would offer a few suggestions that popped out.George Couroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04253972152649235179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1898527418224949692.post-59443590802571276132011-09-16T18:58:38.600-07:002011-09-16T18:58:38.600-07:00Darcy
