We have access to tech tools, tech teachers, and shared practices, but are we transforming the class"room" to "world class" competitive learning dynamics that toss out the learning curve toward limitless possibilities for each US student? How fast can we catch up to create students to be marketable worldwide while loving the public school experience and being good citizens? As an admin, besides keeping up technologically, I am challenged to motivate and equip teachers today to go beyond where I have ever gone myself as a classroom teacher. This requires openness and modeling my own excitement for learning better ways of learning. We are all in the process of becoming. We need to be the self-educators that we want our students to be.
