Quotables

• Sometimes to give support, sometimes you have to pull back support.
• What do we really believe? If we believe it, we need to see it in action in classrooms.
• Great educators have purpose for their work and they know what their vision of successful students are going to be for each child.
•  If we can grow in reflection, we can change a teacher's thinking forever.
• It's ok to change your mind. If you get new information, you need to modify your thinking based on new information.
• You have to build a bridge from your brain to someone else's brain. Get out there and tell people to try it out.
• Take the best practices that are being shared and reality that is happening on campuses and build the bridge between the two.
• Sometimes you have to give students your faith because they don't have it themselves.
• Teachers can come around and have a new  day just like students. Give them the faith.
