An Invitation to Collaboration, Reflection, and Action
Instead of standing on the shore and proving
to ourselves that the ocean cannot carry us,
let us venture on its waters just to see.
De Chardin, via Robinson

As Sir Ken Robinson noted in his contribution to the dialogue,
"there are many practices to share, but the practices will all be
different. They'll be vernacular in nature. They'll be customized
and crafted to local circumstances." Nevertheless, our collective
efforts, in collaboration within and between our schools and our
homes, "should adhere to certain common principles." Together,
we encourage schools and families to examine what practices
might intentionally support these principles, and what practices
might predictably defy them. In that spirit, we invite you to
consider these principles "a framework for collaborative action
that could take us a very long way into creating the kinds of
education systems that we need."
