Admin Tool Box
July 1st, 2008
Just started TCNJ class EDAD 525 Introduction to Educational Administration taught by Ellis Milton . All week we’ll be working on this Admin Tool Box. This is what we have so far:
Admin Tool Box
- Bookmark Ellis “Meeting Resource & Handouts“
- Give up some “Air Time”
- Ask follow up questions: Tell more about, Help me understand, What the best thing you learned, Paraphrased
- Make, Post, use Org Chart
- Every document has a Dev date, Revised Date, update date: a wiki can accomplishes this automatically
- Most documents are public, a wiki can make this simple to do
- I don’t know that, I’m open to new ideas
- More dialog, less discussion
- Think - pair -share
- Sharpen the saw
- Admit problems
- Develop responsibility, ownership
- Post-it note consensus
- If you going to have a bad meeting minus well not have it
“Prepare More ….. Meet less!”
“Time spent on agenda building returns hundred-fold”
“Agenda items should be detailed” - 6 minute AB fluency review (A person speak on a topic for 1 minute, B person continues on the same topic and expands for another minute)
- Have a Survey before a meeting
- Someone that is against something. Ask: is this a Deep Belief or Personal Preference
- Ask for sabotage Ideas
- “Walking around” management, three minute walk through
- Five Finger Survey reference
