Laurie, You are at the heart of what motivates adults to learn. Excellent. Most of my failure had to do with my inability to connect meaning, purpose, and passion to learning that helped teachers improve teaching (this means doing something diffe...

Curt Lieneck replied to Liz Davis's discussion 'Rethinking Professional Development'
