That "human" part of the change equation is the most important and the most difficult as you point out. It is great to see moving beyond the words to action. I do look forward to observing through your blog posts how you and your team of ICL leaders shifts your school along. Boy howdy, you said it Kim.

It's all well and good to have the statements made (and I'm so glad that we've been working on ours here at ISB), but it's only the first step. The much harder part is helping teachers come to the realization that these things are essential to schooling in the 21st century. I'll keep you posted on how we make out here at ISB :) Kim David,
