Here are some random thoughts related to the process and creation of a student centered, teacher directed system of education.
How do we foster resiliency, open access to education, build capacities within our schools and students, & foster accountability, best practices, and community?
Education and learning at its core is meant to be transformative rather than additive.
Lifelong learning and professional and personal growth are connected with the changes facing our schools today. The changes we face require transformation. The initiatives, legislation, etc. may be cumbersome in regard to practical application, however the strategies we choose to employ in meeting the needs of our students are not additive but substantive.
In this spirit, the strategies we develop should be consciously determined so as not to "pile-on" but to expand our capacity to build resilient and self-determined members of our community.
So, aside from the adoption of major programmatic changes how do we embrace this spirit without overwhelming the system?
