Transparency

I wonder why some don't share their professional work and endeavor especially when their work impacts others.

It's surprising to hear about a colleague's work via Twitter or the Internet rather than through an in-house bulletin or discussion.

But, do the members of an organization need to know everything?  Is it important to understand an organization's movement, efforts and outreach, or is it more important to keep a lot of the information that doesn't impact the classroom educators and school staff immediately quiet?

If you read my posts, you know I'm a real fan of transparency.  I believe that information should be shared readily and available for the taking particularly in organizations like schools where our main objective is educating children, an objective that benefits from shared knowledge and effect.

Just thinking.
