Over 10 years ago I was sat in my classroom thinking about leaving the teaching profession.. then I watched this video. After all this time it still resonates today. Arguably very little has changed in mainstream education, but that is not through lack of fighting for change. I can say without hyperbole that this video changed my life. I realised that education must change, and we could be the catalyst for that change. I've been on the frontlines ever since and we are fightin

How can we blame educators for not rushing to the frontlines to fight in the Education revolution? They’re already fighting on the front lines! They’re already in the trenches! The mounting pressure driving them out in droves. We’re hemorrhaging teachers and it’s death by a thousand cuts. Education 3.0 is here, but the bigger picture is so much bigger.

- A call to all teachers The Education revolution that was promised so many years ago is still moving, but are we moving quickly enough? Although it’s shifting, is it keeping up with the real world? We need more momentum, more innovation. These are crazy times, and the ability to be flexible for change will be part of that new momentum. Change can only be truly facilitated by those on the ‘front lines’, those teachers working every day with students. Incorporating innovative
