Can we radically shift our perception of who should be enacting real change in K-12 education?

- The right kind of education reform will happen with people instead of to people.

- Part of this requires redefining who the "experts" are in education. It might be beneficial to loosen control on the part of those that train principals and teachers.

- If educators can view themselves as hosts to the conversation of what schools could look like, the movement for change becomes more courageous.
