More visitors

A very busy week. Visitors in the school to look at our developments this morning.

Then off to present at a conference for GSE workers. My presentation is about 21st Century education, but is more about the dislocation between what is happening in the world and what is taught in secondary schools.

My concern is that there is such a canyon between the two. Our national qualifiactions the NCEA, still asks people to draw a line graph. when was the alst time anyone ever drew a line graph.

Then tomorrow it is off to work with some educators on a course at Auckland University on a leadership chalenge. There has been a few in this job! Still when I walk around the school it is great to be proud of what we have acheived.

The leadership challenge is where there was a difference in how the Board and myself saw an issue and how it was resolved.
