9 ISA Leadership This week I pause to reflect on CFISD s focus Every Student Every Day. This is exactly ISA s focus this week with access to online textbooks. Anyone can create a link-page full of links to every textbook. Creating a custom, student specific page with links to only the textbooks assigned to them is great. This is what Rodney White accomplished. Every Student Every Day- - John Crumbley John Crumbley What is your focus? Information Services and Applications (ISA)
