  16. Learning is the Work “Educational change depends on what teachers do and think—it is as simple and complex as that” Fullan

  17. Learning is the Work The best way to improve a school or district is by developing the people within it

  18. Learning is the Work South Dakota public school districts that are the most innovative and those that have the ability to sustain school reform and organizational change have greater professional development capacity.

  19. Learning is the Work Most organizations already have all the knowledge they need to improve, they simply do not implement what they already know

  20. Learning is the Work “Why does knowledge of what needs to be done so frequently fail to result in action or behavior that is consistent with that knowledge?” Pfeffer & Sutton

  21. Learning is the Work The answer to the knowing and doing problem is deceptively simple: embed more of the process of acquiring new knowledge in the actual doing of the task and less in the formal training. If you do it then you know it.

  22. Learning is the Work Learn by doing and you build community by doing the work together
