High performing organizations have cultures of creativity and risk. They encourage workers to innovate and play.

Evaluation schemes that implicate 100% of the staff to detect a small % of incompetents are a waste of time.

In Finland, within very broad government guidelines, teachers create their own curricula together across schools in every community and district. They don't confine collaboration to their own individual schools and to just implementing other people's ideas.

Every learner has special needs.

Without optimism & self-belief among teachers, classrooms become wastelands of boredom & routine and schools deserts of lost opportunity.

Teaching is not the oldest profession. But it is certainly among the loneliest.

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