Love this post from my friend Leon Cych in the UK where they had a Continuing Professional Development Experience in a treehouse in a park in London (yes, look at the pictures, I kid you not!)

They discussed (and documented via mp3, text, and video) the CPD model (and how to fix it), Web 2 tools, how to be more inclusive of all teachers in ongoing professional development, cost effectiveness of CPD options and a quite interesting topic they called "working outside of silos." (Very interesting.)

Perhaps silos most interest me because often I feel I am in one -- so many of us are working on similar things, but how many are truly sharing what they are doing - it is a constant struggle to share what is happening.

Anyway - this post is enough to give you mental cogitation food for the next few weeks AND Leon documents how they documented the experience.

Hmmm... wonder if there will be any trees in Denver.

So, this seems to be a growing social network for higher education and shows people registered by college. This is interesting. It looks like it has the ability to network people based on research interests!

Excellent reading for IT Directors and Technology Integrators - I particularly like the part about doing your homework and the thorough needs assessment - this fits with excellent books like the Influencer that have researched positive change.

There are some GREAT books on Emotional intelligence, but Debra Sanborn, Program Director at Iowa State University, is using an emotional intelligence assessment as part of the "toolbox of assessments that she relies upon for identifying issues challening students in the first weeks of college."

She says that EQ has an 85% predictor rate of success in college. The EQ-i assesses 5 aras: interpersonal, intrapersonal, stress management, adaptability and general mood."

Who is using this in high school? I read a book on this to help my two kids with learning disabilities but if there is a test or profile that would help us with these kids - to develop emotional intelligence, then we should do it.

Life success is SO MUCH MORE than test scores! Hate that we have to have a "test" to measure this one - although the result is more an indicator of a person's behavior, albeit self-reported.

So, you never think your teachers will blog. Don't worry. Just have them send an email to post@posterous.com -- they will be replied with a website made automatically with their email. They can then just email it from then on and it updates automatically.\n\nDon't tell the teachers but they ARE blogging. Shhhh! Just say it makes a cute website they can customize. Tell them it is a blog at the end of the year!\n\nThis is from Doug Belshaw aka Mr. Amazing in my book. I learn so much from him!
