"We've always done it that way." (Gruskey & Bailey, 2010) was in the opening remarks of a workshop I attended recently. It reminds me that without taking the risk needed for change, we cannot grow.
Without making the time needed to learn, we cannot succeed.
Without creative teachers, our children cannot learn to think outside the
box.
An "Exceptional" Quote:
“Strong, independent thinkers, they (teachers) forge ahead with novel plans and create options that allow gifted students to progress.” Barbara Gilman (2008)
