5. Do we ever hear criticism in education like… We work in silos
Do we ever hear criticism in education like… We work in silos. The left hand doesn’t know what the right is doing. The Central Office level forgets what it is like to be in the schools. It is too top down. They forget the kids.
Well, wouldn’t it be great to have an amazing workplace with a true team approach that can quiet those critics? Well, that means that we may need to change how we work. And that brings us to the Agile Work Management system. (Q: How many here have heard of Agile? Used an Agile approach?)

“I LOVED THIS!!! What a fun, engaging, fast moving way to brainstorm and act on your plan. I find that too many people like to talk things to death and never take action. I'm a action-oriented person, and I love the solutions we provided for teachers.The feedback was so helpful and meaningful throughout the entire process.”

18. Translating Agile to Education
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools; Meaningful learning over the measurement of learning; Stakeholder collaboration over constant negotiation; Responding to change over following a plan.
There is translation work required, but there are tenets that are also perfectly aligned to our work in education.
