MAY 23, 2014   Vouchers Congrats to Rapids and Bonduel for getting in! Great job to the other five that got super close and still advanced the cause for all of us!   Written Curriculum Our last principal meeting concluded with a consensus on curriculum planning. The handful of principals I followed up with confirmed the need. I have talked with 4 other regional Ed. Execs, 3 are using the same mapping company, Curriculum Trak. How soon do we want to hear their pitch?   Passion Check out this great, short article on the need for a leader to have passion in 3 critical areas. How are you doing with passion? Time for a break to recharge? Take it! http://www.missionenablers.com/Boards/2014/05/19/executive-engagement/   Call Courtesy Many of our schools are busy with calls and contracts. We celebrate when we finally are done, then move on to the next project. It is a big deal to let Concordia placement people and interviewees know where they stand. Still in? Out? Call meeting coming? Communicate by email/phone out of loving care and professional courtesy.   Money Hiring and budgets seem to be the topic right now, especially with summer giving on the mind. Here is a great, short article you may want to share with key leaders. It's never about the money. http://www.missionenablers.com/Boards/2014/05/12/it-is-never-about-the-money/   Trego Don't wait!
