We need to go beyond rote memorization and teach students how to think critically. Question their thinking.

Innovation is a process and we as leaders and teachers must constantly adapt to capture and engage our clients.
As SLT members we need to reach out to our colleagues and encourage them to see the value in teaching and thinking differently and to approach education as a process of growth. Teach students for mastery rather than on a grading scale where they are grades on the correctness of a single solution. We live in a world that is a gradient rather than a single right or wrong, so we should assess kids in the same way,
