  • Many of us have been appalled by the behaviorist, corporate-styled policies known collectively as “school reform.
  • hose writings, in fact, eloquently explain the importance of having students construct ideas
  • They’re still orders.
  • In the end, policy makers and consultants cannot change what goes on in classrooms
  • All they can do is invite teachers to change what they do in classrooms.

  • “People don’t resist change.  They resist being changed.”
