When the dynamics of a company is based on the routine, it becomes difficult to absorb new knowledge and new technologies, which are always together
across companies, within school and/or communities, within a person
Ellen Langer... mindlessness ensues...
Listen and observe with strong patience – this means that we need a careful observation of the host culture and its practices as well as everything that supports them.
quiet enough to hear it..
last four yrs...
allows to assume good.. take what works... scale across... use AND... and move on.. alongside

he was literally listening to music...which is breathtaking to observe..
imagine if we did this with our days... with people.

@Richard_Florida Have you seen this great post by @urbanophile- "Do CIties Really Want#EconDev?" urbanophile.com/2013/03/07/do-
Jane Jacobs once said that “Economic development, no matter when or where it occurs, is profoundly subversive of the status quo.” This, in a nutshell, is why policies and programs that might actually move the needle and generate economic development are not implemented. The politicians, power brokers, businessmen, non-profit executives, etc. all at some level benefit from the status quo. Anything that disrupts the status quo is a threat to them.
again - being quiet enough to hear

 Big Picture Learning (@bigpiclearning)3/8/13 8:19 AM Press Release: San Diego Met High School to host the first regional BREAKING RANKS School Showcase produced by... fb.me/25q86F2Cf |
Deeper Learning joins five key elements that work in concert: mastering core academic content, critical thinking and problem solving, effective communication, working in collaboration, and learning how to monitor and direct one’s own learning
first of all... love.
but.. who decides core academic content..?
pretty sure that's how we've gotten here: common core - no?
Together mastery of these outcomes prepares students for civic engagement and to compete in the global marketplace. Deeper Learning is an educational practice that our schools have masterfully demonstrated in its core learning goals for over eighteen year
what if... the #1... master core content... is keeping your incredible model from equity today...
wondering if we are instead modeling.. partial deeper learning...?
perhaps.. we unleash that first part.
perhaps we just try in one little city..
just to see...
The San Diego Met is defined by a commitment of teaching one student at a time based on students’ unique interests, needs, and abilities, with parental support as a key element.
spot on..
let's go global equity to this opportunity...
tomorrow.

"Innovative teachers need an industry professional to be an advocate for them.
everyone does, no?

If your not competitive, invent and hand it over to someone who is to take it to market.
or perhaps.. that's how we keep getting in pickles.. doing/being the things we were trying to get away from?
