The Need for Continuous Learning “The world is changing unbelievably fast. If you’re not continuously learning, your ideas will be dated, and you won’t be iterating on the work that you’re doing. You’ll be closed, thinking you have all of the information yourself, when we know today that nobody can have all the information. The great superintendents I’ve met have this great quality of questioning and curiosity that they bring with them wherever they go.” Karen Cator Former Head of Tech Ed, US DOE
