This is courtesy of Seth Godin. Godin is the author of Linchpin, an international best seller. That text is the ONLY book I have sent out for summer reading this year. Why? Because I know that once a student reads that one book, s/he will get hungry for the right books to pursue for the rest of summer...and beyond.
Reactions? What about this manifesto resonates deeply for you? How can we apply these ideas to our school community? Should we?
I agree with some of it, but I have some trouble with all the "I". I like it for the empowerment, but not for the l I I I....not a lot in there about collaboration or the power of great minds working together.
