Dear Friends,
Today I had the great pleasure to meet with the Edgewood ISD (San Antonio)
LMS's and their principals. I'd like to take just a moment to give them
enormous credit for this forward-looking approach to implementing
change. The goal was to initiate or deepen their collaborative practice by
bringing the powerful administrative stakeholders to the table. How
impressive. I have no doubt that Edgewood administrators now understand
collaborative practice in a deeper way and are ready for the work it will
require to really support their LMS's in the effort and continue
conversations that began today.
I'm so pleased to have been there to facilitate the learning and to share
my perspectives. They are a committed group of professional educators
working hard to realize the goals of IP2. Bravo!
(Thanks to KarenB from Australia for your last minute words of wisdom, too)
Best,
Toni (who joins her voice to those who love to read the rich and
thought-provoking posts by ShondaB and BarbaraB and who agrees that it's
one big coffeeshop here in LM_NETland, one that I try to visit everyday.)
