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

Physically, teachers are often alone in their own classrooms with no other adults for company. Psychologically, they never are.

You cannot understand the teacher or their teaching without understanding the person the teacher is.

We need to establish platforms for teachers to initiate their own changes and make their own judgments on the frontline, to invest more in the change capacities of local districts and communities, and to pursue prudent rather than profligate approaches to testing.

The quality & morale of teachers is absolutely central to the well being of students and their learning.

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