As a school leader, you have the profound opportunity to reach new goals—but it won’t happen by accident. Use your calendar wisely, and make the time to keep learning and growing as a leader. Your school depends on it.

"Most of the time, it won't be a matter of changing people's minds, but rather of addressing their concerns."

"Any type of change, however small, may be viewed as threatening by some. After all, the status quo is familiar and comfortable. But the era of schools that refuse to innovate is past. The ever-changing social and political environment in which we live necessitates that teachers become sophisticated instructional leaders and decision makers who have the skills to empower students and other individuals in their learning communities."

"For me, the ultimate payoff for teacher researchers who have stuck with the process, have learned and internalized the action research skills, and are now committed to action and self-renewal is the belief and knowledge that those who are the real beneficiaries of your work are the students in your care. There can be no argument against this powerful and altruistic goal."
