I was trying to decide what might be the best manner in which I could take notes, engage others in a conversation, and share my thinking about the professional books that I'm reading, and it seemed that using a blog might make the most sense. I could have used a variety of tools such as, Google Keep, or Evernote, but in the end I thought this might just cut out the middleman so to speak.
My wife is away for PD at a AFT summer camp, and I thought it would be the perfect time to read "Cage Busting Leadership", by Frederick M. Hess. I downloaded the PDF from Harvard Press, and uploaded it to my Google Play account. I've heard so much press regarding this book that my anticipation was palpable, and I couldn't wait to dive into the book. I'll keep you posted as I continue my reading.
One thing that you should know about me as a reader...I will most likely be engaged in several books at one time, and will respond as each topic strikes my fancy. I apologize in advance if this frustrates, or irritates anyone that may participate in the conversation.
One additional important housekeeping issue before I proceed any further. The thoughts expressed are my own, and do not represent any official policy from the West Warwick Public Schools. My thoughts do have an impact on the direction I may want to proceed in as a district leader, but my thoughts are vetted by a district leadership team well before they make there way into any district policies. This blog is simply a public way to engage others in some discourse around my professional reading choices.
