IASA is in the process of training coaches for the Illinois School of Advanced Leadership. We were given an assignment to read Michael Fullan’s book Leading In A Culture of Change. We were asked to write down what was our own moral purpose for education. You may want to think about this concept as you lead your school district. My moral purpose was to insure that all students received an equal opportunity for a quality education. This moral purpose then should guide you as you make decisions in your role as the district superintendent. When making difficult decisions you should reflect on your moral purpose. Several years ago I developed a philosophy of “Thinking of Students First.” This meant that when dealing with difficult decisions whether they were political, moral, fiscal or otherwise I would think about the saying “Thinking of Students First” before rendering my recommendation.
