"Don't Try To Stand Out In A Crowd; Avoid Crowds Altogether"
I've been reading a lot lately about reform efforts, innovation tactics, and fostering change. Reform typically doesn't work because it is aimed at fixing problems in the present and not looking towards future learning . The key to me is not about trying to keep up with the curve. The key is to actually set a new curve altogether. This must be an intentional, daily practice to truly be effective.
People are talking about becoming 21st century schools a decade into the 21st century. We should really be looking at the future and stop striving to be something we should have been ten years ago.
The following quote by Maria Robinson best sums up my feelings on reform, change, and innovation.
"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending."
Today is definitely the day to make a new ending. What would that ending look like? How would we get there? B
