"One of my favorite books on leadership is The Future of Management by Gary Hamel. If you haven’t read it, I encourage you to do so...the essential premise is that current management models, which are centered on control and efficiency, are extremely ill-suited for an era in which adaptability and creativity drive organizational success. This has major ramifications for how we think about leading schools and preparing school administrators, of course."

The debates about schools and social media are a subject of great public and policy interests. In reality, the debate has been shaped by one key fact: the almost universal decision by school administrators to block social media... social media is a big part of many students social lives, cultural identities, and informal learning networks schools actually find themselves grappling with social media everyday but often from a defensive posture—reacting to student disputes that play out over social media or policing rather than engaging student’s social media behaviors.

Scott McLeod share three shifts he believes need to be implemented by schools:
* Move from lower-level thinking to higher-level thinking (often called Lower Order Thinking and Higher Order Thinking or LOTS and HOTS)
* Move from analog to digital
* Move from teacher directed to student directed.
In his post he provides a short description of each and asks where you would put your school. This post would be a great tool for a faculty discussion on these issues? Are teachers in your building aware that these discussions are taking place in the field of education? How many teachers might feel threatened by the idea of student-directed learning? There is food for thought in this post.
