Why a Countdown?
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008
If you haven’t seen Morgan Freeman in “Lean on Me” you need to rush out today and rent it or click on Netflix. It has a countdown in it to a Standards test for a low income/low performing high school.
While I am proud to say that our school for some time now is no longer considered “low performing,” the test is still all powerful. For this aside/announcement to my colleagues and friends, I will simply say that I know having a countdown so everyone is on the same page moving toward a goal is an amazing way to produce awareness and results for a task or goal.
Today I start the countdown to April in the mailroom. How many days to the test?
Do you have something in your life/work/family you should make a countdown for?
