Great stuff here and this post in particular highlights an issue all principals face. Reflection/ wonderings/ thinking time is an absolutely crucial part of leadership. I also feel the guilt when I spend time in this mode during time out of class, and have nothing tangible to show at the end of it. However it is up to us (regardless of school size) to dream up the vision and the "how-tos" for our schools. That can't be done without time to reflect and make wise choices. It's never easy in the midst of a busy working life to take this time without feeling guilty but it is a must. I wonder what kind of leaders we would be without the ability and time to dream big? Mere technicians? Guilt may be just one of those self-imposed boundaries we have to push through as we know the cost of not doing so will neuter our ability to do the best for those in our care. Thanks for raising this topic, will link it to my blog. Kia Kaha! Hi Marama

Google- the organisation gives one day a week to their developers to go with their own project- follow their passion- play. Some of the best Google applications have come from this 'playtime'. It happens in work time- not hometime. By letting your thoughts flow you clarify them for yourself- that clarity can be very powerful especially of you share your journey with you on line peers who can't be with you day by day but still are interested and can help you reflect and share and learn.
