Keeping a schedule of classroom walk-throughs and observations is very important part of my daily schedule. This is one of the most if not the most important things that I do. A good secretary helps.

I guess I create a large block of time 1st thing in the morning. I choose this time because no other staff members are present. I realize this is not during the so called 8 hr. day but is works better for me at 6:30 am.

Thank you very much for your feedback to last week's article. Please note, first of all, that these articles were not developed nor designed specifically for educators, but rather for the corporate world. But I do believe in principle that many of these concepts are transferrable to our profession. Personally, in the last few years, I have learned a lot from reading and studying business concepts and business thinking. The challenge, of course, is to take what's applicable to educational leadership. How we use our time, how we set priorities, and how we deal with interruptions are extremely important. I wholeheartedly agree that at no time can we "blow off the parent or student". I believe that it is going to be very valuable for us to spend some time at our December get-together to discuss these topics. It appears that those of you who responded found some value in these articles. Thanks again for taking the time to respond.
