Comments on: Are schools vibrant workplaces? http://dangerouslyirrelevant.org/2006/09/first_break_all.html Technology, leadership, and the future of schools Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:00:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jenny Ware http://dangerouslyirrelevant.org/2006/09/first_break_all.html/comment-page-1#comment-15383 Jenny Ware Tue, 30 Nov 1999 05:00:00 +0000 http://annahein.com/2006/09/first_break_all.html#comment-15383 As I read this list I wasn't thinking of myself. I was thinking of our students. I'm a technology resource teacher in a K-5 building and was just working with a 3rd grade class. I want to know how they would answer. I don't think we give students the opportunity to do what they do best every day (#3). But then, many of them have yet to discover what they do best. I wonder how many feel their opinion matters (#7). Do we take the time to encourage open, honest discussions? I'll keep thinking about this. As I read this list I wasn’t thinking of myself.

I've just tiki-toured over here from Miguel's blog. I felt quite priviledged to be able to check off 11 of those 12 elements which makes me feel like my move to my new school for 2007 was a good decision. If I had to reflect on that list last year I would have only selected only 7 out of those 12 elements! I really like the comment Jenny Ware left on about how we should also apply this list to our students and see what we think they would answer... do we give students the opportunities to do what they do best everyday? This has got me thinking! Thanks! What a great list to reflect on! I’ve just tiki-toured over here from Miguel’s blog.
