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

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

We should test prudently; not profligately.

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

Students are often the last to know about change that is occurring in their own school system.

Don't raise the bar and narrow the gap, but narrow the gap to raise the bar.

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