  • As much as people talk of change, the only stories that really get over the “transform” bar are what’s happening at my old school and from a superintendent in Iowa who told me he was in the process of “Napsterizing” education in his district. (I’m going to write more about both of those after the first of the year.)

  • “This is [about an entire] environment; you can’t say it’s [only] about technology,” Allen said of the city’s efforts. “When you merge good teaching and good curriculum using i21 tools as the platform, then things really start to happen.” She added that the project requires all of these elements working together in order to succeed: “It is [about] all of the above in changing the environment, and how we do things, and how we think differently.”

  • As we get ready for the 93rd year of universal public education, here’s the question every parent and taxpayer needs to wrestle with: Are we going to applaud, push or even permit our schools (including most of the private ones) to continue the safe but ultimately doomed strategy of churning out predictable, testable and mediocre factory-workers?

  • At the core, it’s about caring for kids, doing what’s right by them not what’s easy for us. That’s the piece we seem to be missing, and that’s the piece that should be motivating all of us start screaming about a meaningful overhaul of the system

      If we really want to change our system, we must not let what makes adults uncomfortable dictate what our system looks like (or doesn't look like)

  • “A true transformation in a school begins and ends with the attitudes of the teachers, administrators and staff,” Smith said. “There is no laptop, tardy policy or program that is going to make a change. My role is to surround myself with unbelievably smart and fantastic people, and then I get out of their way and let them do what they do best.”
