The Next Big Thing

Organized storage that offers children clear extended choices results in more complex play and creative expressions in art or construction play.
Jim Greenman, Caring Spaces, Learning Places

"A lot of companies focus on the next big thing.  They latch on to what's hot and new. They follow the latest trends and technology."

But according to Jason Fried and David Heimemeier Hansson, in their new book, Rework (New York: Crown Business, 2010), that's a fools path...

"You start focusing on fashion instead of substance. Your start paying attention to things that are constantly changing instead of things that last.

"The core of your business should be built around things that won't change. Things that people are going to want today and ten years from now. Those are the things you should invest in."


Staying On Course

Running a successful Board of Directors isn't easy.  It takes time, effort, and planning.  Staying on Course:  The Early Childhood Board's Guide for Success will help them stay on course and focus on the important work they do for young children and their families, and it will alert them to pitfalls and known dangers as they navigate the early childhood landscape.

In addition, in buying Staying on Course you receive free access to a Microsoft Word® version of 35 handouts, tools, and templates included in the book.
