Daniel Pink

Daniel Pink spoke at the Administrators Conference in Nashville recently. My principal only had positive things to say about his message and that art and music are an important part of our student's education now and for the future. Buy your administrator a copy of Pink's book, "A Whole New Mind". Also, School Arts magazine each month has been featuring Pink's "six essential right brain-directed aptitudes that creative thinkers should master". I've been sharing these with my principals, also.
