High performance leaders know they have to breathe out when they are coming up for air.

Too many professional development initiatives are done to teachers - not for, with or by them.

We should test prudently; not profligately.

Education leaders must have the will at times to release leadership to the teachers the parents and the students.

Professional trust is a process, not a state.

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

When the purge of teacher individualism is unrestrained, eccentricity, initiative and individuality become the casualties.
