Small signs of change
Thursday, August 29, 2013 at 06:21AM 
Do the little things tell us that we are making changees?
- I saw this sign entering one of our high schools this week. Is my personal jihad on 3-ring binders working?
- All the librarians brought tablets to the first meeting.
- The superintendent showed a speaker how to use the computer remote and had pictures in all her PPT slides.
- A parent told me how excited she is that food services will now be part of our parent portal.
- Two principals bragged on the Moodle course they made over the summer.
- In sending out a district-wide email to over 800 professional staff that Microsoft Office would no longer be installed on student computer labs, I only got one negative reply.
Yes, we have big numbers to show as well, but sometimes the small things are telling - and gratifying as well.

May be 'small signs', but they speak to a larger undercurrent. The educational riptides of change!
Thanks, Ken. Sometimes these are more telling than huge reams of data!
Have a great school year.
