Updated 4/1/2010 after announcement of round one winners (Start with slide 15 for update.) I couldn’t help but notice how the current madness associated with the Race to the Top finalists and the Obama Administration’s blueprint for reauthorization of NCLB are analogous to the other madness associated with March. Don’t forget that the secretary of education was a basketball player. Thanks to information from the New York Times, Education Week, and my own thinking, I have a humorous (I hope) and factual take on the current status. Let me know what you think (dgreen@stny.rr.com).

This is the latest best seller from Chip and Dan Heath. Anyone who deals with trying to change the behavior of people in organizations or at home should read this book. It uses an extended metaphor of a Rider, your analytical side, an Elephant, your emotional side, and the Path, which represents the environment. The book is very well researched and contains many fascinating stories about how fairly ordinary people made important changes. At the end of the book are a number of resources that anyone teaching change or leadership will find useful. I give this book my strongest possible recommendation. My summary was approved by the authors.
