Here is an unknown Mathematics teacher. What is so special about him?

He doesn't know how to curb his enthusiasm.

Our education leaders have to come to terms with the construction of environments where teachers and students experience excitement and insight.

The repression of experimentation has been documented, not just for Mathematics, where Principals wince when asked about having them , but even for science, where abstract,mindless notetaking abounds.


Experimentation does not mean disorder. Plans for securing and maintaining assets must be in place. Therein lies the opportunity for stone-faced rigour.
The demands on management are not schizoid. Its called "flexible rigidity".

The first leadership challenge is getting attention. then comes the long road to results.

if there was no opportunity, there would not be an issue. So principals, presuade your teachers to fill the training spaces.

2013 is three years past the end of our training schedule. So Mr Reid's charge is no real challenge.
