Hi Everybody
Well, nearly half way through the term and plenty to come !
I just wanted to let you know that there have been some new additions to the LIPS blog including some interesting work coming from Scotland on Personal Learning Planning, increasing engagement and commitment to the value of learning. Click this link:
Let’s start at the very beginning . . and this one
There's also a new link to some ideas around the way that coaching principles can be applied to leadership. Click this link:
For more on coaching, look for the links to the Journal for Learning Design further down the blog page. As you can see, the blog is updated semi-regularly, and you may like to subscribe for email alerts whenever this happens.
Some of you may also be interested to see some of the background to work being done in our neck of the woods to try and strengthen clusters of schools and enhance the commitment to building collaborative, interdependent schools and communities as another vehicle for enhancing the shared moral purpose. Click here to go there now.
The LIPS list now has well over 100 members from various parts of the public education sector. Please feel free to pass on the link to subscribe to the LIPS list to anybody who you believe may be interested. It would also be excellent to share some links or resources which you may have discovered along the way. Just send me an email
Along with this email list, if you would like to be alerted any time the LIPS blog is updated, then please click here and add your preferred email address.
If you are interested in looking at a good way of keeping up to date, check out a service like Pageflakes, and look at the possibilities it creates for having an aggregation of a range of RSS feeds from blogs like the LIPS blog: all conveniently in one page. Just like a digital dashboard, with you, as the leader, in the driver's seat, being provided with updates on all the parts you want information about. Just think; parts of the organisation could produce their own information in a simple RSS feed format and you could choose the bits of it which are relevant to you and have it delivered to your desktop, dynamically. You can see an example here. There is a number of these feed aggregators freely available. Check out Netvibes and Protopage as just 2 examples.
Have a great week
Don't forget: You are invited to forward this to anybody who you believe may be interested
