Educationl Leaders & Blogs

Collaboration is an essential tool of successful learning. Continuous learning is a characteristic of successful school leaders. Blogging provides an avenue for school leaders to learn and collaborate. Educators, especially on secondary campuses, have a tradition of working in isolation. This is also true with principals. They may have staff to collaborate with, but how often do they get the opportunity to collaborate with other principals in a non-competitive environment? Blogging allows principals to share their thoughts, insights, suggestions, and concerns in an open-environment. They can receive feedback from other principals (new through retired), teachers, STUDENTS, PARENTS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS, etc. They can use this feedback to develop and mold their own learning and leadership. It also provides an insight into his/her beliefs and philosophies. This insight helps build relationships and shared visions. All of these benefits increase the success of the leader and the school.
