Your school can't be centered on creativity and innovation while control and compliance remain the dominant organizational structure.

Teacher effectiveness is not greatly improved by curriculum, new programs, or initiatives. But, when teachers are respected, valued, supported, & feel like their talents are utilized, then morale increases, job satisfaction soars, & teachers are most effective!

Lead students in learning. #DIAsiaSummit #DitchBook
