Think Good Thoughts,
Say Good Words,

Leadership is getting others to do what the group needs to get done, because they want to do it. -My adaptation of a Dwight D. Eisenhower quote.

I have two blogs right now that I am using to chronicle who I am and what I do as an educator.

My Pair-A-Dimes for Your Thoughts on DavidTruss.com has a philosophical bent to it. My thoughts on education, learning and technology. On this site, I have a My Web2.0 Presentation: This presentation is about my forays into the world of Web2.0, and includes my online resources, as well as my relevant blog posts about my adventures so far..

My Practic-All blog on Wordpress is more pragmatic.

LEADERS of TOMORROW are in our classrooms TODAY!
Student Leadership is a passion of mine. One of my favorite quotes, that I borrow from a good friend and mentor, Dave is "I teach leadership not followship". Most of what follows has a lot to do with Servant Leadership and being socially responsible citizens of the school, and the world.

Here is a link to some Leadership Lesson Plans that I have either used or developed.

Here is a link to some wonderful Teaching Metaphors that I love to use.

Here is a link to my master final paper about Developing a Student Leadership Program in a Middle School.

These are all stored on Eduspaces where I keep my Pair-a-Dimes for Your Thoughts blog.

Dave.



...our generation of teachers are less equipped than students to keep up. I come from the Batman era, adding items to my utility belt, while students today are the Borg from Star Trek, assimilating technology into their lives.. -Taken from my Pair-a-Dimes Blog.
