In the education world, we need to model how we expect students to behave and engage
Great rubric to see what we are doing with teaching and learning.
When do teachers shift their mindset to see themselves as active contributors in the profession, rather than "passive" participants? What are the personal and professional factors in making this transformation?
Can all teachers become teacher leaders? If so, what supports do they need? Or, is there something internal in each individual that either encourages or limits one's professional growth potential?
These are the important questions to be asked in helping bring about this much needed transformation in our profession.

Perhaps one of many possible paths to transformation is the realization that "experts" don't have all the answers, and most importantly, when it comes to real students in real schools, a classroom's teacher's perspective is just as insightful in finding solutions as any "leader" around them.
That's when a teacher's mindset shifts and begins the transformation from teacher to teacher leader.
So, when did you transform? What types of encouragement and supports will help other teachers make that transformation?
We need to figure out what question you are going to ask.
Great resource to help with blogging with students so that they can start sharing their own ideas
