Is our national soul any better a year later? William J. Bennett
I fear that if we don't take on the difficult task of distilling the moral significance of the overwhelming experiences of the past year, we will lose the moral clarity and focus that was forced on us a year ago. Most critically, we must help our children gain a deeper understanding of good and evil as a result of this national ordeal.

Testing, Standards, and Accountability In education, the times are turbulent and an adjustment of priorities is the priority. Our Pilot Performance series explores a metaphor for business leadership based on techniques in aviation and the performance of pilots. It also explores a metaphor for leadership, accountability, and instructional expertise in education.

Unlearning A greater dependency on reliable and relevant data and information is of utmost importance, especially during these times of uncertainty and change in education. Unlearning is the key. Perception is not reality.

|
Overlearning In this article we examine ‘overlearning’ and how educators can achieve a level of ‘mastery’ where ‘the successful outcome of any maneuver is never in doubt.'
|
|
Situational Awareness As flying tests the capability of humans to accurately perceive reality and therefore respond effectively, the teaching processes should no less accurately interpret the learning progress of students and equally seek to provide an effective instructional response.

Chief Learning Officer The principal as Chief Learning Officer and 'leader of leaders' is the wave of educational leadership for high-performing schools. It requires new thinking, new beliefs, and new practices, and places a diminishing value on hierarchical and bureaucratic practices as currently exists in many schools today.
Formative Leadership Tip of the Month:
|
|
Become an instructional leader! The principal as Chief Learning Officer must stay abreast of current instructional thought and practices. High-performing principals understand current teaching models, strategies, and best practices, as they relate to student learning and achievement. To the CLO, instruction is priority #1!
