Footsteps
Individuals make a difference. A school can be altered for a generation by the commitment of a single teacher, designer, or civil servant - all those who defy the limits of their labels.
But, like many relationships, we tend only to realise their impact when they move on. We then have a choice: accept the consequences or fill the gap. We cannot always depend on remarkable people to create remarkable schools.
The challenge for us remaining flawed mortals is to find the means to step forward in their place.
