Despite the shortcomings of the state of Illinois and, more specifically, its recent track record with education, the IIRC is a very beneficial tool that can be used to find quite a bit of information. The fact that it is so user-friendly and easy to maneuver through allows anyone to gather a lot of information in a short amount of time. This has come to be a tool that I seem to be using in many of the classes.
Beyond the IIRC analysis today, I was really impressed with the principled personnel model for Effective leader-follower relationships. Not only are the 6 Principles noteworthy, but I also appreciate the numerous descriptive words found below each example. I could easily see this full-circle model posted in my office as a visual reminder. I'm sure this model could be modified and applied with other relationships.

i have found that I use the iirc website a long since I learned about it in 519 (school-community relations). When I mention at work the data I have found on the site, my fellow coworkers always want to know about the site. I have used this information to create brochures for my schools as well. The information for parents could be something principals use during parent meetings or conferences.
