Today's Food for Thought: Central to my conception of a good school and a healthy workplace is community. In particular, I would want to work in a school that could be described as a community of learners, a place where students and adults alike are engaged as active learners in matters of special importance to them and where everyone is thereby encouraging everyone else’s learning. And I would readily work in a school that could be described as a community of leaders, where students, teachers, parents, and administrators share the opportunities and responsibilities for making decisions that affect all the occupants of the schoolhouse. —Roland S.
