Shannon’s Padlet on change and our other BLC presos
Greetings from Boston where I’ve been learning and presenting with friends at Alan November’s Building Learning Communities Conference.

The response was wonderfully […]

Tell me, what do you teach?
In It’s a Wonderful Life, George Bailey was forced to consider what would happen to Bedford Falls had he never lived. Perhaps, like George, it is time for us to seriously consider our full impact on those around us. Perhaps, it is time to explain exactly what our own Pottervilles might look like should short-sighted […]
