Blogs, forums, chat rooms, listservs—the list goes on and on. These can be valuable resources for finding alternative opinions and information about almost anything. From HR concerns to just needing a quick laugh to fuel the rest of your day, blogs can remind you that you're not alone in the all-too often chaotic world of private-independent education.
This month’s selections focus on the intersection of evaluation, growth, coaching, culture, and change.

- Sharlyn Lauby, HR and training and development consultant, interviews Dr. John Kotter, Harvard Business School professor emeritus and change management expert, on Gaining Buy-In and Creating Organizational Change.
- Coaching expert Janna Rust provides four practical tips in coaching: How the Best Leaders Teach that are applicable to leaders and coaches at all levels and of all types in schools (e.g., department chairs, deans of faculty, grade coordinators).
