This is a short clip of an email I sent a colleague tonight. You'll have to read between to the lines to get the connection between competition/cooperation and accountability/responsibility. My words were inspired by Pasi Sahlberg, an education expert/enthusiast in Finland.
American culture loves competition. American culture is killing education. More than ever, we need cooperation, not competition. We don't need to know who are the stars and who are the losers. We need to know what works and what does not.
Fostering a culture of accountability will kill us. Fostering a culture of responsibility is our saving grace.
