So why did you come to the Symposium?

• How will what you have learned here change what
  you do?

Educator Deficit Disorder

• A sense of hopelessness
• A sense of exhaustion when confronted by problems
  and challenges that seem to be more difficult
  than in the past
• Challenges are not responding to traditional
  medicine (approaches)
• Cynicism as a result of reform efforts coming and
  going

6
The disease is based on the damaging belief that
all efforts at school reform are doomed.
