“Those of us who are committed to school
improvement should understand that the processes
involved in school improvement are analogous to
‘farming’. We must plant the seeds of school
improvement, cultivate, nurture, and care for them.
We must practice patience and celebrate the
unfolding of each blossom.”
Richard DuFour

Mind Set, Skill Set, and Tool Set
Portical.ning.com
www.portical.org
Mind Set, Skill Set, and Tool Set
Students learn very differently
Students are “free agent” learners
We are not necessarily the experts anymore
Our school buildings need to accommodate new ideas for
learning
We need to foster collaboration, communication, and
professionalism
We need to model and help develop specific skills related to
digital-age media (NETS)
Teachers and schools are using collaborative online tools
already for their own productivity
Integrating relevant, web-based tools into schools and
assessment can engage students and community, but needs
to be done systemically
