School Leadership Resources in The School 2.0 eToolkit
http://etoolkit.org/etoolkit/resources/search School Leadership Resources in The School 2.0 eToolkit The School 2.0 eToolkit is designed to help schools, districts and communities develop a common education vision for the future and to explore how that vision can be supported by technology. The name School 2.0 was chosen to encourage a discussion about the next generation of school that can be supported by an integrated technology infrastructure. By encouraging a discussion of community-based next-generation schools, we hope communities will be inspired to think creatively about teaching, learning and management and then explore ways that technology can help meet those goals. The School 2.0 eToolkit was produced by the The Center for Technology in Learning at SRI International with support from the U.S. Department of Education |

Web Tools for Educational Leadership.
http://magazines.fasfind.com/wwwtools/magazines.cfm?rid=1453 Web Tools for Educational Leadership. Educational leaders have found the Digital Revolution to be something of a two-edged sword: on the one hand, it has presented them with the problem of implementing inevitable and profound changes across the gamut of educational practice; on the other, it has also provided vastly improved access to information, and the tools for its manipulation. In this issue of WWWTools for Education, we consider the changing nature of educational administration, and the ways in which the technology itself is being used to meet the challenges it has engendered. |

Help! I'm the Principal, Now What?
http://www.nassp.org/publications/pl/pl_principal_now_what_0504.cfm Help! I'm the Principal, Now What? Combining four personal qualities with four essential practices helps a principal transform a middle level school. What was I thinking? A first-year principal in an underperforming school with a staff that didn't see a need for change. Not only did I need to figure out how to lead, but I also had to learn how to affect student achievement. The reality of the challenge was overwhelming, but I wanted to turn the school around and give Citrus's students a chance for success in high school. Failure was not an option for the students or myself. |
