We need teacher educators who regularly spend a great deal of time in classrooms so they have a deep understanding of where they students will teach.

We're teaching a generation of students who've been schooled to produce quick, right answers on demand. They are not comfortable with ambiguity. The implications of that in the long term are discomforting.

The central job of schools is to maximize the capacity of each students.

As a teacher, it is your job to make explicit whatever you though was implicit

In differentiated classrooms, teachers begin where students are, not the front of a curriculum guide.

As educators we need to understand that there is no finish line in our work.

The high stakes test culture runs almost totally counter to what we know about how people learn. It causes us to engage in professional malpractice on a regular basis.
