The most important emotion in classrooms is surprise.
We need standards with flexibility, not standardization with force if we are to get the best from our teachers.
On data: We are the drivers, not the driven.
On being: Arrogance is not the prerogative of the gifted.
Teaching is a never-ending story. The work is never over; the job is never done.
A successful school has to engage all the people, all the powers, and all the capacities within it.
