Researcher of the Month About Vi Hart There are a great many Harry Potter fans, deeply familiar with J.K Rowling's 7 book series and its elaborately constructed magical world following Harry's 7 years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

What Americans Keep Ignoring About Finland's School Success - Anu Partanen
The Scandinavian country is an education superpower because it values equality more than excellence. Sergey Ivanov/Flickr Everyone agrees the United States needs to improve its education system dramatically, but how? One of the hottest trends in education reform lately is looking at the stunning success of the West's reigning education superpower, Finland. Trouble is, when it comes to the lessons that Finnish schools have to offer, most of the discussion seems to be missing the point. The small Nordic country of Finland used to be known -- if it was known for anything at all -- as the home of Nokia, the mobile phone giant.

Strict Logic Sequences Examination - Form I
Jonathan Wai - 2002 © This test was designed as an experimental measure of the high range of mental ability. I do not know what this test measures although people who score highly on this test also tend to score highly on standardized intelligence tests. However, I would urge you to consider this test as a work of logical art rather than an accurate indication of your IQ. If you wish to get an IQ score you need to contact a psychologist and have a reliable and valid IQ test administered to you. The norms for this test only give you a theoretical IQ score which is really just a guess.
Systems thinking
Impression of systems thinking about society[1] A system is composed of interrelated parts or components (structures) that cooperate in processes (behavior). Natural systems include biological entities, ocean currents, the climate, the solar system and ecosystems. Designed systems include airplanes, software systems, technologies and machines of all kinds, government agencies and business systems. Systems Thinking has at least some roots in the General System Theory that was advanced by Ludwig von Bertalanffy in the 1940s and furthered by Ross Ashby in the 1950s.
The Positive Classroom:What New (Young) Principals Need to Know
The youth of the participants in our annual seminar for aspiring principals caught me by surprise. Most had been college students when the World Trade Center was attacked in 2001, and few understood schooling outside the aegis of No Child Left Behind. All were first-career teachers with just a few years of classroom experience. Some of the aspiring principals I met in that seminar have found jobs; this September, they will step into the shoes of retiring baby boomer principals. The challenges facing these young educators are unparalleled.

Sociotechnical systems
Sociotechnical systems (STS) in organizational development is an approach to complex organizational work design that recognizes the interaction between people and technology in workplaces. The term also refers to the interaction between society's complex infrastructures and human behaviour. In this sense, society itself, and most of its substructures, are complex sociotechnical systems.

Student Led Conferences (SLC's) might seem to be new but they've been around for awhile, at least 18 years - that's when I first encountered them as a newbie teacher. Since that beginning, I've had the professional pleasure of working with a number of school staffs and communities in adopting and growing SLC's. In my current position, this was our 3rd year with SLC's.
