First, I m convinced that every school should be a learning school. A learning school is one that regularly faces its problems, frames solutions to those problems, monitors the implementation of those solutions, and reframes the problems to move ahead to the next cycle of improvement. Unless a school is a learning school, any improvement will only be temporary. For a learning school, any setbacks will be only temporary. This is the essence of practitioner research.
Consistent improvement is impossible without maximum valid information.
Maximum valid information depends upon effective communication among the stakeholders. Using our web-board is even more efficient and a lot more fun. About five of you are having a lot of fun with your regular contributions and dialogue. I d like to get everyone involved on the web. It only takes a minute or two a day to see what s been posted on the web and not much longer to drop a line or two.
