Together with students in my summer literacy class, I started an educational transformation movement. I'm so excited. We just decided to start. The students are building an interactive website for first year teachers who want to resist current reductionist practices. I announced the movement on Facebook and a bunch of people signed up. A friend of mine at Teachers College signed up her class. So cool.
I'm working off Godin's idea of just starting, and of leadership as constructing a space where people can convene and generate innovation. The first thing is the website, but this is by no means the only thing. The idea is that anyone who is sick and tired of playing the game and "hoping" it will change can just start changing it.
I'll update the progress of the movement as it evolves and send along the website info as soon as we have it up. All ideas welcome!
