It’s time for “The Pulse”, a collection of things that I have found interesting lately and that are keeping me going.
Gender Gap in Self Assessment by the Character Lab
In Post 41, I wrote about taking a self-assessment recently and being less-than-satisfied with my own results. The very next morning, I read this post.
The blog post is fairly simple, so it’s worth taking the time to link to the study that demonstrates a gender gap in self-assessment. In this case, it was tasks related to math and science and girls as young as 11 years old responded in ways that affirm the gender gap.
If We’re All So Busy Why Isn’t Anything Getting Done? by McKinsey & Co
What I really like about this article isn’t the title, but the discussion of 3 categories of collaborative interaction: decision making (see Post #18), creative solutions & innovation, and information sharing. This is great for anyone leading groups and/or complex change.
Cultivate Your Coaching Personal Learning Network (PLN) by Stephanie Affinito
Great ideas here for coaches wanting to grow their network of colleagues. Some great “do now” tips and the opportunity to sign up for a free 21 day challenge and receive daily tips via email. I’ll be checking this out more closely and trying some of the ideas over the upcoming school break.
Scheduled Posts!!!
It’s the last week of school and life this blog 😜 is day-by-day right now. Chances are that you are an educator reading this, so you know what I mean. But….there was this ONE time last week where 3 posts were scheduled and ready to go. Boy, did that feel great! I’m planning to “get ahead” and again once the school year ends.
