If we think it, believe it, we can make it happen. It is better to challenge our thinking, than stay within our comfort zone and keep with the status quo. Many people say “Think outside the box.” I say, “Move away from the box!” There are endless opportunities if we challenge ourselves to travel off the well-trodden path.

•Opening the classroom door and
going public with teaching;

9. “... sharing one’s teaching, and the successes of one’s
students, serves as a powerful mode of teacher
leadership. ...
... going public with teaching means sharing one’s own
practice and inviting colleagues to share.”
- Lieberman and Friedrich
10. “... we can’t really expect young people to become
powerful learners if they are not surrounded by adults who
are powerful learners ... ”
- Elyse Eidman-Aadahl, National Writing Project on
Connected Learning TV
11. “As teachers, we don’t often
spend enough time exploring
the technology and writing
ourselves before bringing it into
the classroom. But I would
argue that this kind of
exploration is key to
understanding the possibilities
of learning and critical
thinking ...”
- Kevin Hodgson, Western Mass
Writing Project
from Because Digital Writing
Matters
12. “... A big piece of my job now is helping teachers to get
comfortable in new spaces and environments online ...
and in doing so, I spend a lot of my time getting them
comfortable ... sharing publicly.”
- Bud Hunt of the Colorado State University Writing
Project, personal interview

15. “Powerful idea, indeed - seeing and treating young
people as producers of text first as opposed to
consumers, and believing that their knowledge
production is worthy of not only publication, but
also of study.”

Larryse Brown

26. “With increasing certainty, I think this kind of
inquiry-, play-, and maker-driven professional
development is essential for helping teachers find a
participatory role in students' learning. When we
simply accept pay to deliver content - when we work
as mail carriers for Big Curriculum - we aren't really
participating in teaching as civic engagement; we're
modeling civic disengagement ...”
- Chad Sansing, Central Virginia Writing Project
27.
28. “It’s not about knowing everything about gaming in
the classroom. It is about constantly searching for
ways to best serve my students. It is about making
the most of the many resources that are available
and sharing my ideas to gain more. It is about taking
risks. It is about putting myself in the position of my
students.”
- Janelle Bence, Heart of Texas Writing Project
