Summary: The long and winding road of learning.
Comment: For anyone who has quit a job to move on, but had mixed feeling when doing so, you'll find emotions in this book that you can relate to. David Loader writes "some sense of the emotional loss that I was about to experience swept over me," realizing how many of his friends were not going to be a part of his daily life anymore.

Then there's the "Stumble Principal." Stumbling kind of reminds me of brainstorming. You start with one topic that triggers other thoughts and pretty soon you're at a completely different spot -- but maybe that's a better place to be. If we don't experiment, and aren't open to trying new things, life would be pretty dull! David Loader states "stumbling has one other dimension, falling on your face! Sometimes this may be appropriate." This is how we learn.

You'll find that David Loader brings such reality to his writing - so many things that trigger learning experiences in your own life. He has great insite into the educational ! process, and seems to be a leader who doesn't present an illusional image.

This is a book, once read, that you will keep on your shelf and grab often.

Summary: A vulnerable journey revealing new images for schooling
Comment: David Loader invites us on a journey of new ways of thinking about education. He exchanges the four walls for more refreshing images such as circus, Cinderella, and Frog Prince'pals. As a teacher who loves his art, I could never imagine giving it up for an administrative role - until reading this book. I could actually consider an administrator as maybe having something valuable to offer to the educational enterprise. Loader's insights regarding technology provide thought-provoking possibilities for more creative and effective education located within home, business, and community contexts.
