Oh, happy day!

It was a great day in January when the City Manager's Awards named The Scottsdale Way/CREST team as deserving for katsina dolls. www.flickr.com/photos/25228136@N05/2381276519/

Favorites of the 7 1/2 Habits

My favorites of the 7 1/2 habits for Lifelong Learning are to have the ends in mind (goals) and have confidence in accomplishing them. The rest will then fall into place.

Room to Read

At the PLA Conference last week I was inspired by the story of Room to Read. John Wood, Founder and CEO, launched Room to Read after a trek through Nepal. He visited several local schools and was amazed by the warmth and enthusiasm of the students and teachers, but also saddened by the shocking lack of resources. Driven to help, John quit his senior executive position with Microsoft and built a global team to work with rural villages to build sustainable solutions to their educational challenges.
