7. Key Points from "The Big Rocks" *The principals' number one priority is zeroing in on the highest priority activities for bringing all students to high levels of achievement. "If you don't put the two or three top priorities into your calendar first, all the other stuff will clutter your days." Covey, "The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities." (p. 161)

8. The challenge is figuring out which two or three are the highest priority in your school, setting measurable goals, and pursuing them with laserlike determination.

11. Advice from the author- Get into classrooms! Teachers crave feedback. What works best? – short, unannounced observations of 5 -15 minutes – face-to-face feedback with teacher – goal of five classrooms per day

12. Advice from the author- Be out front when students arrive, be available during lunch duties (mix your visits up), go outside during recess/break times as well as during dismissal times. Visibility and accessibility really matter in this job!

13. Tip! Spend little time in your office for those frequent droppers that invariably start with the words, "Got a minute?" -A sitting principal is a sitting duck!

25. Summary Ball A Summary Ball is merely a beachball or other harmless ball that can be tossed about the classroom with relative safety. After the teacher has presented a sufficient amount of information, or after students have read a chapter in their text, this activity can be used as a review. Students stand around the classroom and the teacher tosses the ball to the first student, who must catch the ball and in 5 seconds state any idea, fact or concept from the lessons. He/she then tosses the ball to another student who has not yet spoken. The second student must add something that has not been mentioned. If a student can't add anything from the lesson, he/she still tosses the ball, but must sit down. Play continues until only one student is left standing.
