What's best for our students?
To help our students best, we must help this person first.
The person is the Teacher.

The school teacher in the Bermuda Triangle of Change:
PRESENTISM: deal with demands in and outside the classroom -- make short term changes, manage daily tasks
PRIVATISM: "You pretend to pay me, I pretend to work."
(or, "You pretend to look at me, I pretend to work."
CONSERVATISM: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

change doesn't happen with low trust
The learning enriched school:
INTEGRATION: discern the best of past tradition + look at the kids right in front of us + look at where we need to take them. Integrate all three spectrums of time.
COLLEGIALITY: The kind of collegiality that is vigorous, robust. One that is engaged in professional arguments. (Not the kind that says: "Oh what you did was wonderful. You're so good. Now come to my class and tell me how good I am. We've done our peer observations, now we can go back to what we were doing before.")
DEVELOPMENTALISM: Always learning, always looking for better ways of doing things. The teacher is more and more equipped with tools and ideas and learning to work with. (Not wild radicalism.)

Iteration
is the new failure
A healthy disrespect for the impossible: Think about what is POSSIBLE.
Fail or succeed... does it matter?
Build iteration in children's mindsets by modelling it.

You don't have to be the solo artist in the classroom
Intercultural competency is at a premium in today's world.
Problem 1: Our rushed lifestyles and typically hurried, superficial social media encounters.
Problem 2: Our tendency to seek out like-minded people or "flock together online
