Well, here we are, the end of the school year. Don’t we love it when we can say that? So… this week will be my last blog for this school year. But, for today’s blog, I wanted to do something a little different. While there is always something to write about regarding education, leadership, ramblings, rants, and musings, I thought I might look at what you thought, as readers, were the five most-read blogs of the past school year.
While each of these five blogs is totally different in their themes, the one constant is always leadership. Leadership, or the lack of it, is always easy to see in others but much more challenging when we look at ourselves. I can remember my mom saying growing up, “Others see you better than you see yourself.”
As a blogger, it is fun to see what people will read. Every week I wonder, is it more about the title or the picture that makes a person want to read? As with most things in life, it comes down to what can get an audience’s attention.
Nonetheless… Here are the five most read blogs from this past school year. Just click on the link to read again or read for the first time (there was a tie with 3 and 4).
- Dr. Seuss, Oh the places you will continue to go…
- My Pet Peeves… Drives Me Crazy…
- Decision Making – Emotional or Factual?
- Things Leaders Should Not Say…
- Friendship Thankfulness…
- Why you need to be an idealist educator right now…
As we close for the year, I would like to say thank you to the educators who helped “make this school year happen.” Teachers are the backbones of the schools. It is because of teachers, that this school year has been a success. There will be many who say this year was not a success, but I would disagree. Quality teachers are going to do what they do best… teach. Thank you for staying the course. Maybe, many years from now, the future will look back and be amazed that we “taught through the COVID pandemic” and survived.
Personally, I would like to thank the readers of The Book Chamber Blog. Your comments and feedback are always a welcome and it allows me to consider new topics each week. We will pick up next school year… whatever that will look like. Hopefully it will look like what normal is supposed to look like. In case you are wondering what the most read blog is since I have been writing… Here it is… “Ride The Fence” Leadership
As for the summer… this might be the summer we all need! Make sure you take time for your family. Enjoy the moments and the memories. And… if all else fails, read a book.
Now, I have to decide what book I have in my “to read” stack I want to read first…
Go be a great educator and leader today… Our future needs it…
Remember… Think Leadership and Be For Others…
