Personal productivity is an important skill for professionals in all industries. We in education are no different as we face an increasing set of expectations both in and out of the classroom. The need to do “more with less,” or at least “more with the same,” requires us to optimize our time and produce the best results. This is especially true of finding time and energy for our own professional development.

I’ve gathered suggestions below from some of the leading education folks, those who are all about project-based learning rather than the application of pedagogy, to share with you.

But news of tech companies breaking laws and paying massive fines really have no meaning. Or at least, no consequences. A couple of months ago Facebook agreed to pay the FTC a record $5 Billion in fines for privacy violations.

For a lot of administrators, referral marketing is either left up to chance or it becomes an afterthought, something to focus on after you’ve invested in “serious” marketing efforts. Sure, you would love to get more referrals, but can you truly influence your families to tell others about your school?

Danielle Allen said : No democracy can survive if its citizens do not believe that democracy is worth having. The long-term future of our system of government depends not only on restoring a supermajority of citizens who demand democracy but also on ensuring that that percentage exists across the generations. Nor is it enough for people simply to believe democracy is essential if they don’t know how to build, operate, maintain, fix, and adapt democracies.
