In Search of Good Humor

 

Even in stressful times, it’s important to keep a healthy perspective on the important work of school districts.

The School Administrator magazine publishes a monthly back-page column titled "Leadership Lite," which as the name suggests looks at the lighter side of life in school administration.

AASA is eager to solicit your stories (or those of your colleagues in the central office) for possible use in their magazine. They seek short, humorous anecdotes (that generally can be told in no more than 4 or 5 paragraphs) that relate to some telling aspect of life in educational administration or the operations of a school district. Anecdotes should be based on the contributor's own experience -- something seen or heard -- in a school setting, administrative office, school board meeting, PTA meeting, educational administration course, etc. They will credit the source by name or withhold it, if requested.

To spark your creative thinking, read the “Leadership Lite” columns in back issues of The School Administrator at www.aasa.org.
