I think the examples that you included are great for the point that you are making. I just have one question. In Episode 13 of the shifting process, you mentioned transition and time. Technology, information, everything is changing and growing so fast. In order to create a new vision, if a school needs time, how much time should be allotted for that vision/change to set in motion? I guess I had never really looked into the mission of any schools before, I am really glad that you brought that to my attention. It is something that I have long overlooked in comparison the growth of 'today'. Your blog has some real substance. I think the examples that you included are great for the point that you are making.
