Field Guide for Change Agents
There is much to like in this excellent presentation.
Fullan’s quote (slide 46 from1993) has long been a personal favourite.
“Especially in moral occupations like teaching, the more one takes the risk to express personal purpose, the more kindred spirits one will find” Fullan 1993
Many teachers remain successful risk averse islands, correctly lauded due to their right results for the school assessors who seem to matter in society; governments, employers and tertiary entrance.
Should schools even risk achieving the moral requisite of liberal life long learning, when MySchool data ( I will not link), media league tables(even worse), workplace demands and high stakes testing are diametrically opposed to it ?
Or instead? Be a change agent. Think global, act local.
