Comments on: The burden of presumed competence http://edubuzz.org/blogs/harvard/2007/07/13/the-burden-of-presumed-confidence/ A Scottish Perspective Sat, 20 Mar 2010 13:31:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Lucy, school teacher http://edubuzz.org/blogs/harvard/2007/07/13/the-burden-of-presumed-confidence/#comment-83 Lucy, school teacher Wed, 15 Aug 2007 18:12:34 +0000 http://edubuzz.org/blogs/harvard/2007/07/13/the-burden-of-presumed-confidence/#comment-83 Thank for your valuable post. I wish all people used your solutions. I would even print them out and out on the wall. It is so simple to think anout what you don’t know and accept it - then you will make plans and learn more. I hate it when people pretend they know everything and always stay on the same level. Thank for your valuable post. I wish all people used your solutions.

It was great that they kept in contact with me during their time away and it was an amazing feeling for me to be able to straightaway download podcasts from both conferences and listen to sessions that they had both attended courtesy of Wesley Fryer at Moving at the Speed of Creativity. I am finding more and more that reading blogs and listening to podcasts created by people with a passion for learning in today’s world is an effective way of keeping up to speed with what is happening in the world of schooling, learning and education. Right now I am following with a great deal of interest the Harvard Leadership Blog of Don Ledingham and a number of other Scottish educators who are currently attending a 10 day Leadership Course at Harvard Graduate School of Education. I was fortunate enough to attend the Project Zero Classroom at Harvard in 2004 and can attest to the quality of this experience. One of the great things about reading quality blogs such as the Harvard Leadership Blog is the quality of the comments that they provoke - take a look at Ewan McIntosh’s comment and link to his own posting on July 12th - really powerful stuff as he lays out the challenges for all leaders who seek to make the schooling experiences relevant for those they seek to serve.

I was writing about this yesterday in relation to managing change and communicating ideas effectively: http://edu.blogs.com/edublogs/2007/07/on-the-leading-.html Coming away from the place of work is certainly a great way to refresh practice, but what about the opportunities to find refreshing change and practice within a home environment? It's harder, perhaps, but maybe more sustainable and shareable with colleagues. Maybe we might even be able to discuss this F2F - I'll be with you in Boston in 48 hours ;-) There’s also the burden of knowing what you do know, the burden of knowledge.
