Culture is the possibility and impossibility that bacon and fruit can appear on the same plate.

What we want for our students we should want for our teachers: learning, challenge, support, and respect.

On teacher education: induction into current mandates must not turn into seduction away from best practice.

On data: We are the drivers, not the driven.

Teachers are always emotional: by default if they bore us, and by design when they excite us.

In healthy individuals, emotions don't distort rationality, they enhance it!

On assessment: measure what you value instead of valuing only what you can measure.
