Part of the 30 Goals 2010 Challenge Series
As educators we tend to be very giving people and volunteer our time to help others. In this way, education is a significant profession. I am fortunate to have been involved in many incredible projects. Along the way, I realized that some of these projects either no longer exist or lack the profound impact they once made. Funding is a problem. Another problem is when the leader leaves and no one else takes the reigns. I have been that leader, the one who failed to pass the baton.
This year I aim to pass the baton. How is this accomplished?
- Mentoring
- Creating a plan
- Creating leadership positions shared by many
- Having appropriate measures in place
- Establishing a vision
The Challenge Continues
My long-term goal is to ensure this project is continued. Many have been so incredibly wonderful in sharing this with their teachers and students. Thank you for this. To make this process easier I have created this free e-book that has all the goals listed in order. You can share this with your school, other teachers, your students, and administrators. Next week, I will ask you to help me collaborate on a better e-book. I would like to create a collaborative e-book with images, videos, student examples, blog posts, and comments that fit under each category. I want to be able to take this to the several conferences I am presenting at this year and share this with teachers and their students. I would like you to be able to share it as well on your blogs or at teacher trainings. I want this to be by a collaborative group of authors. I hope you will join me in this project. I will provide more details and a Google document where you can easily list the link to what you would like to contribute.

How do we ensure we pass the baton?
Fabulous ending to a great series. Although, I guess, it’s really just another beginning, isn’t it? I love the way you’ve collected the challenges in an e-book, and I’m sure the project will grow with collaboration.
Well done, Shelly!
Great idea to put this all in an eBook. You always continue to inspire me which I think is one of the most important tools of an educator!!!
To echo Barbara and David,
Great end to the series and am very much looking forward to hearing how the collaborative ebook goes – as I’ll be putting one together in Spring (on blogging) and another in the summer on using Ning with English language learners!
Take care,
Karenne
