“The way we see the problem is the problem.” Stephen Covey
Covey goes on the introduction to his his bestseller, 7 Habits . . ., to explain that we need "a new deeper level of thinking, a paradigm based on an accurate map of what it means to be a human being today and what it means to interact with others to address deep concerns". This is what ASaP moving forward is trying to accomplish - we want to help solve “chronic underlying problems and focus on the principles that bring long-term results”. We need to do the real work, not platitudes and band-aids or quick fixes that is so often found in schools and districts today. The transformational work ahead for impassioned educators is not easy. In the end, it will be worth it. “ I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.” Henry David Thoreau Leave a Reply. |
