I love the idea of the boss mission and @mfarley who was mentioned by @ccarswell will be at the F2F on Saturday so you should definitely touch base with him after visiting his sight.

Here is my review of the book from the summer: http://cohort21.com/garthnichols/21st-century-skills/book-review-creating-innovators-wagner/

At times I can find myself in the trap of “you need to know this for university”. But what I need to remember is that their university degree might not lead them exactly to where they expected. Even as a chemistry and math teacher, I need to remember myself that it is less about skills they…Read more

We have moved to a “Week Ahead” newsletter for all staff to ensure that Monday meetings are generative and productive. That any info that needs to me communicated goes into the “week ahead” and that meetings are used for ideas, decision making, problem solving and the like. Works well.
