  • “Becoming a 21st-century elementary principal,” by Peter DeWitt
    • “With increased mandates, pressure from high-stakes testing, Common Core State Standards, and teacher and administrator evaluation, the principal’s role is facing more accountability than ever before.”
  • “Snapshot of a modern learner,” by Mike Fisher
    • “Santos knows where to find information. He does not necessarily discern what information is relevant, and he doesn’t necessarily know what he needs to learn from the information. But he knows where it lives: everywhere.”
