This post is part of the #EdublogsClub – a group of educators and edtech enthusiasts that blog around a common theme each week. Simply write a post and share it to join in, or sign up to receive email reminders of each new prompt.
With the presidential inauguration taking place here in the US in a few short days, ‘leadership’ has been heavy on my mind.
This may be as good of a time as any for us to share and discuss different facets of ‘leadership’ on our blogs. Your post doesn’t have to be education related, but keep in mind your intended audience as you build your blog’s following.
Prompt: Write a post that discusses leadership, peer coaching, and/or effecting change.
Here are some sentence starters that may help you as a work on the ideas for your post:
- The best school leader I have ever worked for/with…
- Teaching leadership skills to students…
- The qualities of a true leader include…
- Leaders don’t…
- Leaders never…
- Leaders always…
- I wish my school administrator/boss…
- As a leader, I wish to improve on…
- A leader I admire…
- Peer coaching…
- Effecting change…
By all means, you don’t need to stick to the above.

What If This Topic Isn’t For Me?
You may find that you don’t like some of the topics we choose. Or, perhaps, you get a little case of writers’ block on the prompt.
If that is the case, we encourage you to publish a post about anything at all so that your week isn’t missed. You can also spend the time doing a little blog maintenance, like updating your theme or design. We’ll try to include some alternative assignment ideas as the weeks go by.
Next week’s post will be unique! So stay tuned and happy blogging!
I’ll let my link here, even if I’m almost a year late and Kathleen has already commented on my post. It just gives me the feeling of belonging more genuinely to the community and helps me to go on with the other prompts. http://stora.edublogs.org/2017/12/01/effecting-change-the-power-of-free-will/

Thank you for sharing this, Ines!
Hurray! Prompt #3! This was a “tough” one, but I’m glad I did it.

Wandering back through the week’s I’ve missed, I found this prompt, and it really spoke to me. Excellent and effective school leadership, I believe, is about saying “yes.”

Hi Everyone,
Sorry I am so late getting this prompt done. I tend to do things in a rush and have just been finishing a unit at University Tasmania relating to my hobby of family history. But here we go: Student leadership http://www.xpress360.net.au/blog/2017/01/30/student-leadership/
Hello Fellow Blogger
I am running late (as usual in my personal life). I have finally added my post in response to the “Leadership” prompt – http://elearnopen.info/index.php/2017/01/29/edublogs-challenge-leadership/
I am so humbled by the great posts for this prompt. I respectfully submit mine for consideration…

I hate being late to this but it can’t be helped sometimes. I personally found this prompt to be rather challenging, but in the end I came up with a post that really caused me to reflect deeply about leadership and the types of leaders who have shaped me. It was a moving experience. Thank you Edublogs! @mrsruiz2301
