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.

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.

Leadership: Collecting as I go https://readersbeadvised.wordpress.com/2017/01/22/collecting-as-i-go/
Hi everyone ! I’d like to share with you my third post: https://goo.gl/wabvC1
I have a small confession to make, this challenge is way more interesting that I thought it would be at the begging. The first post had some response, the second a much deeper one, and I truly wish this third one will be of your interest.
I love sentence starters. I answered each one, because trying to organize my thoughts around this vast subject was turning out to be just too difficult and time consuming (and I’m trying to catch up with these posts!). Here’s my post:

I liked your comments especially about “rule follower.” I know lots of teachers who want clear instructions and will obey and follow. There is lots of ambiguity everywhere. Sometimes leaders live with ambiguity to compel followers to step up and find clarity. That’s called leadership training, in my opinion. Keep writing because it is very interesting.
Thanks again Ronnie. This prompt pushed me deep into reflection. Here’s my leadership post: http://www.rtschuetz.net/2017/01/leaders-they-may-be-closer-than-you.html

Hello Everyone!
Here’s my VERY long post. I apologize for the length. It seems I had a lot to say. I had more trouble with this one than the other two.

Hello Fellow Bloggers,
It was nice to step back from the details and think about how educators can lead. Thank you for the prompt Ronnie!

Here is my post on Leadership – http://dockuhl.edublogs.org/2017/01/18/what-is-great-leadership/
Such a timely and tricky prompt. I was nervous about the topic and then heard the TED talk from Drew Dudley and was on fire! I want to be a leader that inspires others! https://emilymaxwellmclemore.com/2017/01/19/redefining-leadership/
I’m looking forward to reading your perspectives about leadership this week. Here is my post: Leaders vs. Managers http://brocansky.com/2017/01/leadership
This got me thinking about my experiences with great (and not-so-great) leaders. And the kind of leader I’d like to be one day

I blogged last night during the hearing for Secretary of Ed — seemed very timely! Here is my response to prompt #3:
http://bit.ly/2jwRwCj
I really enjoyed your post Susan. I agree and have felt the same way towards administrators who have deep experience in teaching. Yet, I have met effective leaders with just less experience who have made a difference in me and in others.
Looking forward to reading more of your posts.
