2008 NCTAF Symposium: Building a 21st Century Education System
“Preparing today’s students for a knowledge-based economy is a demanding challenge. No teacher should be expected to do this job alone. It is time to give them the support they need to succeed, by bringing the spirit and power of teamwork to schools. For decades we have tried to manage school improvement with policies that treat teachers and school leaders like targets of change rather than agents of change. To meet the needs of today’s students we need to adopt policies that empower teachers and school leaders to develop 21st Century learning organizations.” -Tom Carroll, NCTAF President
