21st Century Learning and Teaching

I have a greater appreciation for the value of cross-sections of teams working on projects together.

Innovation isn't rocket science. It just takes TIME.

If we're inviting people to take risks, we must be disciplined in leaving open space for failure.

One team from FedEx Day documented their collaborative process. You will not be surprised to learn that it involved post-it notes, markers, and...

Toyota had this idea many years ago - creative thinking time - what teachers have always wanted ...It actually does work!

I chose this resources because I was interested in the concept of "teacherpreneurs". The opportunity to be afforded the time to engage in policy development and leadership roles is certainly terrific. I've always felt the influence from the ground level (teachers) is seldom felt. Instead, influence remains with the research community and union organizations. Of the specific points described in this article is that "The best teacherpreneurs lead from the middle". Teachers respond to others who are dealing with the same pressures and stresses associated with teaching. 

I scooped this article because more and more the topic of teacherpreneurs is coming up.  I like the idea of teachers as leaders, and even helping with policies.  It will be interesting to see if this expands more in the future. I hope that teachers reading this article watch this course of study/action closely and take part in it when they can, as we need more teachers to move into leadership and even into advocacy roles for education.
