Steep Learning Curve Ahead

Wow! I started in Castleberry ISD fourteen days ago. I came to the district feeling confident because I used a lot of the same curricular resources and data management programs. I still feel pretty good about that. What I feel inadequate about is where I am technology wise.

I guess I've been hiding in a rock somewhere. I've heard of people using social media and a variety of technology to communicate and learn, but I hadn't explored any of that at all. Well, guess what? I have no choice now. Right away, I joined my colleagues in a Digital Leadership academy. At the end of my first day there, I had Tweeted, blogged, and build a Weebly (webpage) for the first time!

I'm thankful that I have the chance to learn how to do all of this in context so that it is meaningful for my role and my content area. The teachers of the group have been great in modeling a program or strategy, then giving us time to practice immediately with people all around the room who can help.

So, be nice to me while I step out and explore and experiment. And just watch me get better!

Digital Leadership - Chapter 11: Discovering Opportunity

I just joined the Castleberry ISD team as ELA Director a week and a few days ago, so I’m a little behind in the Digital Leadership game. I’m going to dive right in and absorb everything I can. Unfortunately, in my last positions and districts all things technology were mostly buzz words with no real training about how to use it best. That being said, I am thankful to start learning how to really be involved in digital leadership and am excited about the opportunity to learn with my colleagues. My first task is to read chapter 11 of Digital Leadership by Eric Sheninger and blog about it. This is my first blog, so be kind to me! The title of the chapter is “Discovering Opportunity” and the first thing I did was flip through to see what the subtitles. I found things like, “strategic partnerships”, “university partnerships”, “intraschool partnerships”, and “corporate/community partnerships”. Immediately I made a connection to the community relationships I had to buil

3 Important Aspects of Independent Reading

In Elementary classes this year, we have made Read to Self (Independent Reading) a priority. We know from decades of research that one of the simplest and most effective way to increase reading skills is to increase the amount of time students spend reading. We have no control of how much our students read at home, but we are able to give them opportunities to read at school. In grades Kindergarten through 5th grade, students are building stamina in independent reading. By the time students are in the middle of third grade, we hope to have them really engaged in independent reading for 20 minutes per day. I hope that in Middle School and High School we can find creative ways to carve out independent reading time as well.

Monitoring without Coaching is a Culture Killer

Picture this... 10:07 am - John Monitor notices smoke in the forest behind his house. 10:10 am - John walks into the forest and sees fire, about 5 feet long and 3 feet wide. He snaps a picture on his phone and goes back inside. 10:20 am - John goes back into the forest and sees the fire, which has gotten a little bit larger and snaps another picture of it. He even tells the fire, "You are getting bigger. You shouldn't do that." Then he goes back inside. 10:45 am - John goes back to the fire and sees that it's about 15 feet by 5 feet. In awe, he uses his phone to take a video and tells the fire once again how big it is and that it really needs to snuff itself out. 11:00 am - The fire is in John's backyard. John records the fire, providing of a narrative of what is happening and why it should stop spreading. Now Consider This ... This scenario reminds me of what happens when campus and district leaders spend so much time monitoring that very lit
