Beth Dichter's insight:
What are the top ten skills that are needed in the workplace today? The University of Phoenix has published this infographic that provides a look at the top ten skills as well as information on how to acquire the skills. Are you providing your students the opportunity to learn and/or practice these skills?

These skills make a lot of sense and all tend to be included in education, right now. In addition to learning the standard topics, most educational establishments incude socio-cultural, moral and practical lessons for students to be able to cope with life in the 21st century.

"Reaching students emotionally may seem like a red herring, but maybe it’s not. Inspired by Justin Tarte’s recent—and excellent–post on making a difference in the lives of others around you, I immediately thought of the legacy teachers leave in the minds (and hearts) of students. If and how you will be remembered by students may sound like a bit of an ego trip, but the truth of the matter is, if you’re not making any kind of an impression, they’re probably not learning."

This post provides 18 ways to reach students in your classroom, beginning with curiousity and including model macro behavior and be human. In addition you may watch a five minute video clip from the Dead Poets Society.

Legacy and impact - making connections and developing relationships are important keys to successful teaching and learning.

Beth Dichter's insight:
Mark Gleeson takes an infographic that he learned about on Scoop-it and brings the discussion of leadership and leadership building into the classroom, by taking each of the eight leadership qualities in the infographic and discussing them at three levels (quoted below from the post): * Peer Leadership (School Leadership teams/Curriculum leadership teams or individuals) * Teacher-leading-Class and * Student Leadership The eight leadership qualities are: * Courage * Humility * Accountability * Trustworthy * Communication * Conviction * Collaboration * Aligned What made this post valuable to me was his discussion on each of the eight qualities within the framework of the three levels of leadership that are in our schools. You may find yourself asking questions about leadership in your school or district, and wondering how you might use this information within your classroom (or school if you are an adminstrator).

Have you asked yourself the question "What does it mean to be a great teacher?" Here are ten ideas from a teacher three days into teaching 6th grade this year, reflecting on his first 3 days and his previous years in teaching he asked himself this question, and came up with a list which he has shared. Read through the post and consider responding with your thoughts. What would you add to the list? And to give you a taste, here are a couple of his thoughts (but read on for his explanations): 1. A love of students 2. A love of good content 3. Solid pedagogy

Books often provide inspiration. This book list provides 50 books listed in five categories:
* Inspiration
* Leadership
* Educational Psychology
* Learning Culture
* Practice
A short description of each book is provided as well as a link to Amazon (at least for the books I checked). And think of this as a list of 50 great books. The post states "Number one is just as great a resource as number fifty."
If you are thinking ahead to some great summer reading that will impact your classroom next year this would be a great place to start.
