Another thought about “Thought Leadership”
Image via Wikipedia
I wrote on Friday for Leadertalk and here about my experiences with Thought Leadership and My Personal Professional Development. I have received some great comments, one of which I followed the link to this gentleman’s blog. Don Cowert notes at the top of his blogspot blog that,
I have been in Elementary Education for over ten years. In that time I have been a teacher of many grades and a Principal of Daniel D. Waterman Elementary School and Hope Highlands Elementary in Cranston, Rhode Island. In these 10+ years I have had thousands of conversations with teachers and parents about children and how they learn. I feel like I have helped a lot of people in this short time period. I decided to create this Blog as a forum for these kinds of conversations.
I want to draw your attention to Don’s post on “How We Learn- William Glasser”. His posting about his thoughts and experiences opens the door for some wonderful dialouge on an important educational leadership issue in our schools. His post begins with Glasser’s percentage listing on how we learn-
How We Learn
10% of what we READ
20% of what we HEAR
30% of what we SEE
50% of what we SEE and HEAR
70% of what is DISCUSSED with OTHERS
80% of what is EXPERIENCED PERSONALLY
95% of what we TEACH TO SOMEONE ELSE

I encourage you to give Don’s blog a read and have it join your list of educational leaders blogs you might be reading.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog and posting this comment. I have just spent the last hour reading through your blog. You have some really interesting talking points. I plan on adding your link to my blog. I will be back again.

Don’t you love it when statistics support what you have knew intuitively forever.
