School Leaders Share A Vision Through Books
Do you want to create a school vision that is in sync with rapidly changing education, globalization, and employment trends? Boards of education and administrators that focus on a shared vision can move education change at a much faster pace. One way of getting the board and administrative team on the same page is to get them all reading the same research and information together. School leaders in Vermont and around the country are using "Book Clubs" to create progressive learning communities. Here are three highly acclaimed books that school leaders are reading together:
- The World Is Flat, Tom Friedman
- A Whole New Mind, Daniel Pink
- Good to Great for Social Sectors, Jim Collins
Spend some time this fall either listening to these books on an IPOD/MP3 player or reading hardcopy the old-fashioned way. Reflect with your fellow school leaders about the impact the concepts espoused by these books may have on education in your district.
