Comment on: Topic 'Secretary of Education Discussion 3: Prepared and Qualified Teachers': eir faculty. Opportunities for more collaboration and better communication and sharing of ideas within districts must be given for educators to flourish and grow. Administrators must change from being top-down to seeking and fostering leadership capacities in their faculty, many of whom are at least as educated as their "bosses." The issue of creative, qualified administrators should be addressed along with that of qualified teachers. Third, teachers have many non-professional duties: lunch money, fundraising money, secretarial tasks like photocopying. We don't seem to have enough time to devote to the profession itself, or extra time to give to students who deserve and need our time, and time can't be manufactured. We could use help in this area.

Comment on: Topic 'Welcome!': ns I can make to creating the systems for teaching and learning that every young person who walks through the door deserves and which a thriving democracy requires: 1. I'm associate director of the Center for Courage & Renewal, founded by Parker J. Palmer (www.couragerenewal.org) and dedicated to nurture personal and professional integrity and the courage to act on it in personal and professional life. Over the past decade, 25,000 folks, mostly K-12 teachers have participated in our Courage to Teach and Courage to Lead programs. 2. I'm a co-founder of Sound Discipline (www.sounddiscipline.org --website launched any day now!) helping to grow equity and democracy: one child, one family, one classroom at a time. How adults react when young people misbehave IS the missing piece of school and community improvement and it's time we aligned social emotional learning with disciplinary systems and practices that embody dignity and respect! I look forward to discussion!…; Added by Terry Chadsey at 11:32am on March 31, 2009
