Have you heard of Cognitive Coaching? It was a beneficial class for me. The planning and reflective conversations (which are its basis) are seamless ways to conduct pre and post observation conferences. Plus, I have learned ways to keep the ownership of issues/problems with the bearer of them! It's helped me tremendously!<BR/>Thanks for the podcasts and blog. I love being able to learn about other administrators' experiences!Tamara Speidelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194395524885125973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4769670059241478021.post-14595762897441520952008-03-29T23:15:00.000-06:002008-03-29T23:15:00.000-06:00Hello,My name is Mike and I am a teacher/administr...Hello,<BR/><BR/>My name is Mike and I am a teacher/administrator in so cal. I have been working on a paper for my masters class related to podcasting and blogging from the administrative perspective and feel you've really started something here. Podcasting can help to decrease the way we communicate to our staff and with the use of blogs could help to get better feedback from our staffs. I was disapointed to hear that the challenge continues to get our staffs to participate. However I believe that if we continue to show them(model) what can be accomplished we will help to get more to join the party. I look forward to reading and listening to future podcasts and blogs. Keep up the fantastic work!brewballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06940936912598286727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4769670059241478021.post-29697651474544038522008-03-27T08:01:00.000-06:002008-03-27T08:01:00.000-06:00Welcome Frank!

I am an elementary principal here in California. I think you will like the Rick Stiggins book. It is simply about accessing kids for learning. You have a new listener, just wanted to say hi.

We won't know what works or what doesn't unless we try. Ask yourself, would you want your child to be a student in your school. Ask your teachers if they would want your child in their classroom.<BR/>Send Alyson my way anytime!

One session was facilitated by Pedro Noguero who mentioned to the participants to view your blog in order to learn how school leaders are effectively working with current research. When I took to time to read your blog and the vast online community of educational leaders I was blown away. Thank you for all that you share, it is great. I work as Coordinator of Accountability in a District in Virginia. The tools you are sharing are fantastic and go right in line with our development and training in Professional Learning Communities. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again <BR/><BR/>Chris Kelly<BR/>Hampton, VAckelly1995https://www.blogger.com/profile/08219399441575110004noreply@blogger.com
