We have moved from an Industrial Age through a knowledge age to a conceptual age. We need to understand that learning is messy, unpredictable, spontaneous, great fun, natural. We are all programmed as learners. We can't stop ourselves learning! The challenges we face, that we have always faced, are opportunities! We live in amazingly brilliant times where the extraordinary happens on a regular basis. Where ordinary people do extraordinary things because they have been taught they can rather than being taught that they can't! We can all be great if we put in the work… what is it 10,000 hours… We simply need to be the gardeners, designers, storytellers and orchestrators of learning. We need to help our students work hard, be persistent, be determined and make and create beautiful things that matter to them!
"Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don’t and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it’d be easy, they just promised it would be worth it." Unknown

WE ARE ALL STORYTELLERS... PASS IT ON!
Research shows that every learner has the potential to be brilliant given individual support and guidance. The keys to brilliant performance lie in great teaching supported by coaching, mentoring and hard work.
