“It doesn’t work to sort teachers by whether they
are ‘effective’ or ‘ineffective’ and then use a coach
to fix those who we perceive to be broken.”

STUDENTS KNOW AND WHAT THEY NEED TO
KNOW

“The old, hardwired ‘plan & push’ mentality is
rapidly giving way to a new dynamic ‘engage
& cocreate’ economy.”

“It is easier to act your way into a new way of
thinking than it is to think your way
into a new way of acting.”
