This is the second edition of quotes we have complied to complement the philosophy that underpins our website www.leading-learning.co.nz We believe that the quotes provide unified collection of thoughtful ideas to transform education. It is often said that we are entering the 'Information Age' but we prefer to believe that we are entering an 'Age of Ideas, Talent and Creativity'. We present the quotes as part of on ongoing dialogue to give all who read them the courage to transform schools so as to meet the exciting challenges of the 21stC. One suggestion is to as a staff reflect on the quotes in any one section (or any selected quotes) and discuss what they might mean for your school. Others people select suitable quotes for school newsletters of school brochures and other school documents.
