Why our outdated educational system needs to change.
Schools are struggling. administrators are frustrated. teachers are overworked. students are paying the price. and many are looking for a way to reform—and transform—a troubled educational system.
But before any sort of reform can happen, she says that everyone involved needs to ask themselves a very important question: Do we need to re-imagine what education can really be?
As educators, we are preparing young people for the future. And that’s why our outdated educational system needs to change. the future belongs to artists, inventors, storytellers—creative thinkers!
We need to take advantage of the technological resources we have at our disposal.
We need to understand the unique challenges of the 21st century learner.
We need to offer a personalized approach to educating young people.
We have an unprecedented opportunity to re-imagine education in a BIG way. One that supports our students’ abilities, yet pushes them to accept new challenges. One that recognizes the sacrifices teachers make, yet encourages them to embrace new perspectives, professional development, and techniques. One that understands administrative limits, yet pushes for the reform and resources our schools need and deserve.
She wants to renew HOPE and let everyone who is involved in education know they DO have the power to change the system. And she is heartened to know that so many teachers, administrators, and others are willing to join her on this mission to re-imagine what our students are capable of doing.
The system has placed an out sized value on IQ, on the ability of students to perform and learn in only a few outdated ways, on the almighty test score.
These are outdated practices, and thankfully, schools are moving in the right direction.

Overcoming Negativity & Creating Success
Frequently, she hears from teachers about negativity in the workplace. It often comes in the form of fellow teachers who are so caught up in the politics of education and the “busy-ness” of the school year, that they’ve lost the joy that led them to choose a career in teaching. They have a negative attitude—and it’s starting to affect everyone around them.
A Gallop poll found that only 13% of the workforce is happy in their jobs, which results in a cost of $500 billion annually, in the US alone. When the workforce in question is comprised of teachers, the loss may be felt more than just monetarily. Lessons suffer, learning suffers, students suffer.
When employees work with a positive mindset, their performance undergoes a positive transformation, as well, improving productivity, creativity, and engagement. “People who cultivate a positive mindset perform better in the face of challenge.”
All of us in the education field have a choice to make. We can focus on everything that’s broken about the system—or we can choose HOPE.
We can refocus our energies and find ways back to doing what we know in our hearts is truly RIGHT for our students—beyond the standardized tests and professional politics.
We can show up for our students in the ways they need us to—with a positive mindset and a joyful heart.
