All teachers are already leaders. It's in the nature of teaching.

It is those who have the distinction of privilege who set the standards of disgust with failure.

Teaching is an emotional practice: it activates, colors & expresses people's feelings.

On data: We are the drivers, not the driven.

Sustainable leadership does not compromise the future by expanding and accelerating too quickly in the present.

Without optimism & self-belief among teachers, classrooms become wastelands of boredom & routine and schools deserts of lost opportunity.

Schools that cannot tolerate interesting & enthusiastic eccentrics who work better alone than together are devoid of flexibility & spirit
