I am the reform when I trust other teachers.
I am the reform when I stand united, and not divided.
I am the reform when I discuss, assess, and learn with my students.
I am the reform when I trust in others.
I am the reform when I ask for observation, feedback, and growth opportunities.
I am the reform when I discuss, even with people with whom I disagree.
I am the reform when I reflect, reject and reinvent.
I am the reform when I ask for help.
I am the reform when I learn more.
I am the reform when I am not afraid.
I am the reform when I listen and I speak.
I am the reform when I believe.
Are you the reform?

Really great stuff – I just started reading your blog and I am really enjoying it – please keep up the good work! Educators like yourself make sharing, collaborating, and growing so much easier. Thank you!
EXCELLENT way to look at this…
I am so glad I have found your blog through twitter. Thanks for being apart of my PLN. Your writing is clear, interesting and candid. I look forward to more posts.
Wow, you sure wrote some powerful stuff and I couldn’t agree with you more. Many of your thoughts are thoughts that I have had throughout my teaching career and it is so refreshing to here someone else talk about going above and beyond. I feel like great leaders are so hard to find anymore and your explanation of always being told “no” was spot on. Since reading your blog I have started to ask the questions of why, and not just accepting no. You have truely inspired me too be a better teacher.
