What is Going on Out There...

Beyond the halls of a school beyond and outside the borders of school districts, there is a global conversation happening.  Leaders, thinkers, and doers from everywhere are talking about the current state of education.  Two amazing things about these conversations: (1) They have been happening for almost 20 years; (2) They are not talking about standards, bell schedules, instructional minutes, evaluations, or grading.  There has been a global movement to bring crucial elements into our schools.  

CREATIVITY, COLLABORATION, REFLECTION, MINDFULNESS, EMPATHY, AUTONOMY, FAILURE, FRUSTRATION, TEAMWORK

Below are some of the conversations, keynotes, and though provoking materials that INSPIRED me to change the way I taught, nearly ten years ago.  I hope that they help you reflect and change, too.
