      It’s not easy being a school administrator. As leader of your school or department, it may be difficult to find peers you can confide in, discuss challenges or get insights.

    1. Teach Thought—the blog directed by former English teacher Terry Heick, looks at how both teachers and students can learn better.

    3. The Principal Difference—this blog, by the National Association of Secondary School Principals, doesn’t shy away from raising important issues such as uncovering myths of student engagement or if elementary teacher bias discourages girls from math and science.

    4. The Innovative Educator –the author of this blog, Lisa Nielsen, found school boring as a student, so she wanted to change it for younger generations. As a librarian, ed tech professional and now director of digital engagement and professional learning, she writes about the future of education with a down-to-earth perspective.

    6. The Hechinger Report –this nonprofit newsroom takes on issues of education and inequality in classrooms and on campuses.

      7. That’s why it’s great to tap into the opinions, knowledge and research of education administrator blogs. Most of these blogs are written for and by administrators, and can open up a conversation and help you connect with others who, like you, work to provide the best educational opportunities for your students. Others blogs are written from people who aren’t in the trenches, and can provide a different, but necessary perspective.
