Goals for my second week

After meeting with Bill I decided that a lot of what I am interested in is pretty broad and there is a lot of literature, more than I can include in one semester. So rather than getting bogged down in one aspect of this issue (such as all the literature on staff development, or all the literature on school leadership, or all the literature on teaching methods in high poverty schools, and on and on) I am trying to consider the system at a macro-level. How do all the components come together to create quality, motivated teachers who won't get overwhelmed and disillusioned?
I am going to add work by Any Hargreaves, Michael Fullon, and Anette Lareau to my list for this week and see how this adds to my understanding of the overall beurocracy of the school system.
