44. 2. Public engagement Page 23 Open professionalism that includes the public builds awesome schools

45. 3. No achievement withoutinvestment Page 23 Schools cannot excel alone but need communities and society to work with them. There is no achievement without investment. Greater professional accountability needs to be matched by increased parental responsibility.

46. 4. Corporate educational responsibility Page 23 The businesses that get invited to the educational policy table should be those that practice corporate social responsibility. Accountability should be mutual and transparent, not secret and one-sided.

47. 5. Students as partners in change Page 24 Students are usually the targets of change efforts and services. They are rarely change partners. Without students, there would be no teachers. If schools and school systems sustain a broader vision … their students will become committed to changing the world.

48. 6. Mindful learning & teaching Page 24 Mindful teaching and learning goes to the heart of the human condition. It acknowledges our need for emotional engagement, our quest for excellence and our craving for relatedness and purpose.

53. 3. Lively learning communities Page 25 The best professional learning communities are living communities and lively cultures dedicated to improving the lifelong learning of students and adults alike. Highly qualified teachers create curriculum together.

55. 1. Sustainable leadership Page 31 Leadership is the afterthought of educational change. It’s the cigarette that’s smoked after the reform has been consummated.

56. Sustainable leadership Page 33 Sustainable leadership matters, spreads, and lasts. It is a shared responsibility that does not unduly deplete human or financial resources and cares for and avoids exerting damage on the surrounding educational and community environment. Hargreaves & Fink, 2003
