This year, as my first school year as an administrator is wrapping up, I wanted to take a moment to thank the principals out there that are blogging, along with my building principal, who have helped me grow this year.

Kelly Hobbes - Educational Discourse

Chris Lehmann - Practical Theory

Dave Sherman - The Principal and Interest

All the folks at Leader Talk (tip-o-the-hat to Scott McLeod for putting that together)

and just yesterday I stumbled on a blog that made me smile the whole time I was there:

The Principals Page - written by an anonymous principal. He explains it this way:

I can’t list my real name because of the embarrassment and shame it would bring to my family and school district- actually, I just don’t want to be made fun of when I am in publicThe Principal

Wish I would have thought of that. I’ve been reading you for one day and learned something already.

It’s important to me that you know that your writing has helped shape a young administrator that’s still trying to figure out which end is up and has a long, long, way to go. Thank you all, for the guidance you provided, most likely with out your knowledge.
