Welcome to EDL 522. As part of the requirements for this course you will be required to post comments to this blog after every class session. These comments should be a reflection of the readings, lectures, guest speakers, activities, or discussions that occurred during the day.

I hope you enjoy the class and I will do my best to share with you the theoretical and practical lessons that you will need to be a successful school administrator.

Day 2: Good & Bad Experiences Update

Even though principals have little direct control of the finances I thought it was very helpful to cover what we did today about finances. It paints a picture of a school that the test scores does not do and vice versa. I am glad Dr. Closen clarified the whole 6% cap thing as no one in my district understands it!

As of the end of class on 1/20/08 there were 9 stories with good endings and 11 stories with not so good endings.

I learned many useful things about finances today that I had no idea existed. I too am thankful for the clarification of the 6% increase.

EDL 514, school finance, is a great course. Dr. Olds will flat out tell you its something that Supts need to know but I found it very useful especially while looking at IIRC data.
