It has been a long time since anyone has accused me of have poor self-esteem, so at the risk of sounding even more arrogant, I am good. Actually, we are good. Which I have predicted. My prediction, maybe even hypothesis, is if you give teachers a job, time and resources, then get out of the way, great things will occur. Take this week-end for example, although I had to leave at noon to go the the wrestling tournament, I know my group of teachers produced great things. I helped get them started, shared with them what I would like to see happen, listened to them and gave them the help they need. No protocols, whip-arounds or gallery walks. The secret ingredient here is time. I tried to value their time and I trusted that they would act like professionals. The result is our output way exceeded expectations.
