Who knows about this?

Publishing is not evolving. Publishing is going away. Because the word “publishing” means a cadre of professionals who are taking on the incredible difficulty and complexity and expense of making something public. That’s not a job anymore. That’s a button.

There’s a button that says “publish,” and when you press it, it’s done.

HOW

Showing is better than telling

When you hand someone a photo album or a yearbook, the first thing they will do is seek out their own picture.

Knowing that, the question is: how often are you featuring the photo, name, needs or wants of your customers where everyone can see them?

” Seth Godin

When it comes to trust, this does almost

nothing

Ambient Intimacy

The type of “effortless chatter” that tends to be posted on the social site is better at tapping into our mind’s language capabilities due to human evolution, which prioritizes and remembers information from social interactions.

“Lisa Brady, one of my favorite school superintendents, decided not to wait for the conversation to start on its own. She went into her community in Dobbs Ferry, New York, and invited parents into a book study of Tony Wagner’s The Global Achievement Gap.

Over a six-month period, she went to parent meetings, coffees, and other informal gatherings to listen to what the parents reading the book had to say about it. They told her: We have to change.”

Thanks, Lisa, for filling us in on the details of DF teachers professional development. We are grateful for the amazing teachers our daughter has encountered so far at Springhurst. I am all for whatever we as a district can do to invest in the learning of this most precious resource.

I'm looking forward to seeing you again this week at the Friday morning book chat.

Happy holidays!

Greta

Dear Dr. Brady -I do understand the importance of teacher development days, but why are they counted as our children's school days? I believe that for our teachers annual pay levels some summer school hours (teachers and/or students) would not be out of line. What are the impediments to that?

How do we start a review and evaluation of the effectiveness of "Early Dismissal" days? This days are some of the most disruptive days my children have.

Thank you.Sandra Merrow

Sandra,

Thanks for your feedback and insights. Early Dismissal Days do count toward student attendance days and teacher PD is handled pretty much the same way in most school districts. We have quite a lot of summer professional development that occurs every summer. One of the challenges is that not all teachers can necessarily be here at the same time in the summer which limits the work that can be done by department or grade level teams. There is so much that needs to be done right now because of the new APPR requirements that necessitates teachers having time to work together on assessments, rubrics and planning. We really do try to do the best that we can with the limited time we have.

Dr. Brady

Rather than write my goal in a book, I decided to create my own t-shirt. I have worn my t-shirt at CDNIS during staff meetings and grade level assemblies. The response from staff and students has been somewhat overwhelming as many are keen to get a ‘daily’ update
