What do we want to see in 19 year?
- Best person teaching kids where they are (geographically) - no matter where YOU are
- more than 1 adult in the room - more one-on-one, sharing strategies, collaboration/professional growth
- Teachers having a voice in legislation - they need info. from the classroom to base decisions on, must balance their concern for student safety - address their security online
- No more pigeon holes
- Who does the responsibility of solving school problems belong to? US!
- Teacher led school????
- Daily transparency in our classroom - if we all do it on a daily basis, it become the norm and others are expected to follow suit.
- Teachers need to be marketers! Who is the marketing expert at your school? What can they teach your faculty about getting the word out?
- Every school has so much untapped potential that can solve the real problems.
- Educate parents at the beginning and keep them updated - then they aren't afraid to speak up for their own child.
- SHOW each other what we are doing - convince principals to have a SMACK DOWN session :)
- What is hindering us? We know what to do correctly, but what's in the way?
- Check out Sir Ken Robinson!!! TED talks, etc.
