PROFESSIONAL GENEROSITY IN ACTION 
LUCY GRAY 
THE CHICAGO EDUCATION FESTIVAL 
1
“…the Global Education Conference community is organized around 
people rather than tech or content. Although happiness is definitely part 
of the community, the better description might be that the community is 
focused on ‘optimizing for professional generosity’. 
Professional generosity drives Twitter chats, from #edchat to #kinderchat, 
as well as community like Steve’s Classroom 2.0, Edmodo, and most 
online educator communities. It acts as the antithesis of the outcompete-the- 
world, zero-sum message US educational system promotes at all 
levels. Steve and Lucy have a bootstrapped community built for an 
‘infinite runway’ for teaching and learning, rather than quick success or 
quick failure. Although it may not seem like a community that will garner 
much attention from super angels, Lucy and Steve’s 365/24/7 “anytime, 
anywhere” global teaching and learning community is the right model— 
scalable, sustainable, impactful, and with a killer ROI, if you want to wait a 
generation to measure it.” 
–David Potter (iEARN)

MY DEFINITION 
Professional generosity is the act of freely 
sharing information and supporting colleagues 
in the interest of the common good. It is fueled 
by serendipity, and results in multiple 
opportunities to exponentially learn from and 
collaborate with each other.

“Every single moment for me has been magical. 
It is almost impossible to pick one. The 
presenters have all been wonderful, but it is the 
discussions from the participants that make each 
session exciting as people bring their different 
view points to the presentation, offer additional 
insights and information to the discussion and 
arrange to meet up (online) and collaborate 
together. It is the personal global interaction and 
connections that make me stay awake all night 
(sometimes) or has me wake up at a crazy hour 
in the morning to connect with an educator from 
the other side of the world. “ 
–Anne Aherne-Daly (USA) 
40
EVERYDAY ACTS OF 
PROFESSIONAL GENEROSITY 
41
“What would happen if all teachers and 
educational leaders demonstrated Professional 
Generosity? What if all school districts did? What 
if all organizations and industries did? I wonder 
where the tipping point would be…in my own 
school, in my district, in my state, in my 
profession, in my country…in our world. We have 
the technology. We have the trailblazers. We 
have living, breathing examples out there doing 
it. I can easily do my part. All it takes is a little 
Professional Generosity intention on the out-breath.” 
–Donna Adams Román

Professional Generosity in Action

  • 1. PROFESSIONAL GENEROSITY IN ACTION LUCY GRAY THE CHICAGO EDUCATION FESTIVAL 1
  • 2. “…the Global Education Conference community is organized around people rather than tech or content. Although happiness is definitely part of the community, the better description might be that the community is focused on ‘optimizing for professional generosity’. Professional generosity drives Twitter chats, from #edchat to #kinderchat, as well as community like Steve’s Classroom 2.0, Edmodo, and most online educator communities. It acts as the antithesis of the outcompete-the- world, zero-sum message US educational system promotes at all levels. Steve and Lucy have a bootstrapped community built for an ‘infinite runway’ for teaching and learning, rather than quick success or quick failure. Although it may not seem like a community that will garner much attention from super angels, Lucy and Steve’s 365/24/7 “anytime, anywhere” global teaching and learning community is the right model— scalable, sustainable, impactful, and with a killer ROI, if you want to wait a generation to measure it.” –David Potter (iEARN) 2

  • 46. “Every single moment for me has been magical. It is almost impossible to pick one. The presenters have all been wonderful, but it is the discussions from the participants that make each session exciting as people bring their different view points to the presentation, offer additional insights and information to the discussion and arrange to meet up (online) and collaborate together. It is the personal global interaction and connections that make me stay awake all night (sometimes) or has me wake up at a crazy hour in the morning to connect with an educator from the other side of the world. “ –Anne Aherne-Daly (USA) 40
  • 47. EVERYDAY ACTS OF PROFESSIONAL GENEROSITY 41
  • 48. “What would happen if all teachers and educational leaders demonstrated Professional Generosity? What if all school districts did? What if all organizations and industries did? I wonder where the tipping point would be…in my own school, in my district, in my state, in my profession, in my country…in our world. We have the technology. We have the trailblazers. We have living, breathing examples out there doing it. I can easily do my part. All it takes is a little Professional Generosity intention on the out-breath.” –Donna Adams Román 42
