Hope

"Hope - When I listen to you, and you listen to me, we are better for the experience, and there is always the hope that we can create something new and better, that we can advance thought, and, through dialogue, create a better tomorrow." Jim Knight - Instructional Coaching
How do we get our school communities - students and staff- to believe in the hope of creating a better tomorrow?

Change

The only constant in this world is change.
Danielle recommended this video to me - I think it is very meaningful to the direction that our schools need to go in.

Changing teacher practice will improve student results. We all need to be learning and growing in our practices.
