Reflection • Don’t look for someone to make meaning for you. You have to make your own meaning. (coherence) • Learning leads Teaching. • Invest in activities that lead to student learning. Divest the activities that don’t. (noise)

If I believe that I will “get to” the learning agenda after I complete the managerial work, I will never get to the learning agenda. (disposition) • Embedded Professional Learning is very messy… however, all of the solutions are in the building.
Less is More! When is good, good enough? • Wisdom trumps knowledge. Everyone needs to be released to thinking. • Don’t think that you are educating students for today’s world of work.
Questions are the high octane fuel for thinking. • This is both a technical and a social change. • It is in the act of giving that receiving is possible.
