I think by sharing your fears and observations here you have demonstrated how to foster real and brave conversations between teachers and teachers that could lead to real change.

So let’s get started, shall we.

Let me share with you my opinion, because I feel that is what you are looking for. Not more amplification of…Read more

Your question “How might we foster real, brave conversations between students and teachers that lead to real changes within a high-performance, high-output environment?” is a great reminder of where you left off at the last face to face but it does not have to be where you end.

My first question back to you is WHY are you asking…Read more

So much of what we ask of our students – innovation, risk, personal reflection, etc… – is rooted in a culture of trust in which students feel safe. I’m not sure learning is nearly as accessible – rich and lasting – if the…Read more

But do you know who didn’t notice that I was wearing the SAME outfit as the day before, which I had thankfully forgotten to…Read more

I actually believe that being honest and openly acknowledging our challenges and missteps is one of the most important things we can do for our community – in better ensures a culture rooted in support and mentorship, as opposed to judgement. And really, what do having it “all together” even mean? Sometimes, for…Read more

It is only then that we can look for the truly innovative solution. Often, it’s the thinking itself that is the innovation, the mindset, not always the tech or new tools that…Read more
