Great book that illustrates how hard CHANGE is...

If you have some time this summer read "Who Moved My Cheese?" There is an adult version and a picture book version. It so cleverly and humorously illustrates the whole process of CHANGE. I saw the adult version at Virgin but you can get it anywhere online as well. I have often seen the picture book version being used in inservices for administrators and teachers. After the last 2 days we've had we will be able to make many connections to the book and hopefully after understanding that fear is a natural part of the change process we will be more willing and excited to embark in new adventures. Use the link below to check it out!

I am just wondering if this type of announcement re a book would be better as a blog post rather than a forum? We also need to develop a resources wiki page and add all of these wonderful resources so others can find them easily. Will do that this week.; ▶ Reply to This

Sorry if this reply should be on a blog or wiki. Just let me know Julie.; ▶ Reply to This
