I believe education’s why is to develop learners and leaders who will create a better present and future. When I use the term leaders, I’m not talking about bosses but people who have influence over and can make an impact on the world. Likewise, the term learner is not limited to students; educators must have the opportunity to develop both as learners and leaders. Anyone in any job or position—students, teachers, and administrators—can be a learner and a leader. But to develop these traits in our people, we must empower them; we must inspire innovation, rather than demand compliance.
