Teachers who believe they can make a real difference in their students lives REALLY do.

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

We must use collegiality not to level people down but to bring together their strength and creativity.

We must never return to the Julie Andrews curriculum where we teach "a few of my favorite things"!

One or two bad teachers is a problem with the teachers. A school with many bad teachers is a problem of leadership.

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

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