Beating the Odds and Man's Meaning

It's been a very long time since I read, Victor Frankl's monumental book, Man's Search For Meaning. Though I'm almost half way through it, very few books have affected me as profoundly as this one. (Covey's Seven Habits is #1) As I walked through the halls today, I was thankful for all the good that I see people doing. I can't imagine having to live through what Victor had to.

Another piece I'm very excited to begin reading is a piece put out by the Department of Education in Arizona entitled, BEAT THE ODDS...Why some schools with Latino children beat the odds and others don't. This is part of Jim Collins' legacy of Good to Great, transposed into an educational setting. Fascinating stuff. Though I've just glanced over this, I know it's going to yield some insights as to what works and what doesn't in education.
