Great question, Jane. From my perspective, we can't talk about the issue of "Great Teachers and Leaders" without first recognizing that there is insufficient and inconsistent time provided for teachers and administrators to collaborate. Our schools are a veritable gold mine of professional wisdom, experience, expertise, and know-how. Merely implementing new supervision and evaluation models or making blanket statements calling for dramatic improvements to the profession without first ensuring that teachers have time and support to learn with and from one another is futile. So I suggest taking some time in this new space to engage educators around the issue of time and collaboration and to share promising models.
