have participation by educators from around the world, including remote participants who
joined us via Elluminate.

An effective change agent is
       someone who can't be afraid to
       change course.

It really is okay to be proud
                            of the work that you have
                            helped to create.

                            While no passion of yours is
                            100% yours, there is something
                            important about standing up
                            for the change that you believe
                            needs to take place.

                            There are moments when "we"
                            (students, teachers, admins)
                            are ready to move on to the
                            next step in our progression.

                            We have to know when that
                            is as well.

Whatever changes are being considered, sustainable
leadership should look to the past for precedents that
   can be reinvented and refined, and for evidence of
                what has succeeded or failed before.
                            -      Hargreaves (2005)

Sometimes we are on the
outside looking in of the
conversations we need to be
in. Getting "in the room" or
"in the circle" matters.
Not contributing isn't always
an option.

Change is like
sunshine...



                 some change because they
                   finally see the light and
                 some change because they
                            FEEL THE HEAT.

Quote from: Victor Frankl
Education is

after one has
forgotten
everything he
learned in
school.

Albert Einstein

   Especially in moral occupations like teaching, the
more one takes the risk to express personal purpose,
                the more kindred spirits one will find.
                                 -      Fullan (1993)
Struggle
  shouldn't be
   avoided in
  support. We
 should be okay
   with asking
   really hard
questions of one
    another.
