“Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.”

 – John Fitzgerald Kennedy

 

CISD's theme for the year, “Learning today, Leading tomorrow”, has special meaning as Hannah leaves for A&M this Sunday. (Whoop!)  I realize the importance of her education at CISD and how it has prepared her for the leader she will become.  Not only did she learn academic things, but she learned many life lessons.  She learned how to be a member of a group and the importance of team work through band. She learned the importance of leadership through all her school clubs and offices she held. She will now have to take all she learned and apply it and hopefully to make good choices. There are so many things we learn in life through school.

As an educators it is important to continue to learn whether it is the latest technology or educational trends. If we don’t continue to learn, we cannot prepare students to be the leaders they need to be after graduation.

 

Below is a link to an article on project based learning.  Hopefully you will learn something from the article and how project based learning will help students be leaders for tomorrow.
