  • Leaders Grow, Through Adversity, Humility and Empathy
  • Lincoln was generous in crediting others with success; his papers are filled with notes complimenting others. FDR’s capacity to inspire and encourage his staff and those around him made it possible for them to carry on when the challenges of the Depression weighed heavily on them. “He didn’t solve their problems,” but cheered up the team so they could continue to forge ahead, Goodwin said.

  • Teachers Vow Fight Against Proposed Spending Cap On Schools

  • “It is an assault on voters’ intelligence to suggest that they don’t know how to analyze their own school budgets and vote accordingly,” says Darren Allen, spokesman for the Vermont teachers union

  • Their new plan to impose spending caps on school budgets might help accomplish that goal
  • The cap means officials could not present to voters any budget plan that resulted in a more than 2 percent increase in per-pupil costs. And it’s this language that teachers object to the most. Allen says it’s a blunt policy instrument that will inflict serious harm on public schools.
  • If a vote for a community exceeds 2 percent per pupil in expenditures, it’s deemed to have failed,” Sharpe says
  • But the most contentious provision in the bill calls for a hard cap on per-pupil spending increases.
  • But even diehard proponents of education funding reform say the House Education Committee’s approach could do more harm than good.
  • “It’s unfortunate, taking away more authority from local school boards and local decision makers and local voters,” Scheuermann says.
  • The House Committee on Ways and Means will d

  • arpe says the version of the cap in the education committee’s bill is admittedly flawed, insofar as it fails to recognize various factors that might make a per-pupil spending increases of more than 2 percent necessary for some districts.

      This is incredibly true! I just find it hard to coordinate projects like these on a regular basis with so many students. Not to say that I can't. Maybe with practice, it will come more easily.

      This would be another great way to work on area, surface area, and volume. Students currently design cereal boxes, but this could be a great choice!

      So, so true! I find when I do meaningful projects, behavior is much better. However, it is hard to manage doing these projects all the time. With that said, maybe it gets easier with practice.

    Here is an article discussing how red lining impacts the quality of education a student gets based on SES, which in turn, is based on race. It is beneficial to have an understanding of why things are they way that they are.

What's Involved in Technology Planning? | ECLKC - 1 views

  • Technology planning is a process. TechSoup has broken it down into seven phases.Establish leadership and support. Assess your resources. Define your needs. Explore solutions. Write the plan. Get funding. Implement the plan.
  • Your organization's technology vision (together with a brief section about the current state of technology in your organization) can take the form of an executive summary. How will technology further your organization's mission? What is your long-range vision for technology use? While this isn't necessarily an essential part of the plan, this section can give an overview of your technology goals as they relate to your organization's mission.

      What is the tech vision for GMUHS? How can this apply to us?
  • Taking your hardware and software inventory may be the most well-defined part of technology planning. As a result, you have more options for how to get it done. If someone on staff has even a minimal knowledge of hardware and software vocabulary, you may well be able to do it in-house. Is there someone who knows how to find out the processor speed of a computer?

      In digging into my district tech plans I found we have not updated ours since 2012! This was shocking to me. This clear timeline of how to write and implement a plan will be very helpful in our writing of a new plan.
  • Whether or not you seek outside help, however, educating your own technology team is crucial to a successful plan. In order to understand the options a consultant presents to you, you need vocabulary and basic concepts. The content areas of TechSoup are a good place to start.

    This is from the US. Dept of Health and Human Services but talks about, "Technology planning is a process that takes time and resources in order to understand what is appropriate for staff and the organization. Program directors and their management staff may use this resource to further their understanding of what is involved in technology planning." While HeadStart is under this government branch and the terms don't completely line up with education lingo, it makes some great points that ISTE also mention.
