One quick thought

I don't mean to hog the blog, but I keep thinking of things I would like to run by the group. This book presents some very compelling arguments for change. It worries me when I listen to the discussions of our school directors. Their ideas of how to save the district money may limit our use of the concepts Pink suggests are most important to our 21st century students. (Maybe we should send them a copy of this book to read.) More importantly, how do we shift the paradigm without overwhelming the budget?

I would love to discuss this book with our board of school directors! Short-term financial gain cannot be the number one factor in decision making - and technology is not going away anytimne soon.

Do you think we might be able to meet with them?
