Implementation of technological change must involve critics as well as advocates.

Alberta funds almost all its schools and districts to design and evaluate their own innovations. Teachers are the drivers of change, not the driven.

It is not the time to put school districts up for auction. Now is the time to galvanize them into action.

A successful school has to engage all the people, all the powers, and all the capacities within it.

In Finland, within very broad government guidelines, teachers create their own curricula together across schools in every community and district. They don't confine collaboration to their own individual schools and to just implementing other people's ideas.

Change is easy to propose, hard to implement, and especially hard to sustain.

Educational reforms are like ripe fruit. They rarely travel well.
