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

Teaching is a never-ending story. The work is never over; the job is never done.

Deadwood did not kill itself!

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.

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

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

The rules of the world are changing. It is time for the rules of teaching and teachers' work to change with them.
