Moderated Panel led by Chris Lehmann
Bud Hunt, Katie Morrow, ??, Chris Lehmann, Doug Johnson, Scott ??
Personal Takeaways of the panel
- share information about PLN
- important to have time to stop to process – often forget that when we are working with adults
- Remember to put kids first (Katie Morrow)
- Beliefs shouldn’t be pie in the sky – should be reflected in practice
- Policies, not money, are keeping us from making progress – filtering, scare tactics etc. –
- Personal beliefs may not be supported by our organizations/schools. What do we do then? Give up, be subversive, ??
- Leadership is getting people to do what they don’t want to do to achieve what they want to achieve. quote from Tom Landry by Doug Johnson
- We often design policies etc for the bottom third but we should create for the middle third instead (often includes people who need a reason) – Chris Lehmann
- We can’t change people or make them passionate
- Tools should support what is happening in the classroom. Don’t push tools but apply them WHEN USEFUL or when they can ADD VALUE
- Have a conference to talk about how to make schools better, to dream how our schools can be – lots of great models like educon and lbc already exist to follow
