to accept mediocre as long as the
product, the service, or the

12. Final Thoughts: This day worked because it was
designed by teachers for teachers. I have
heard more positive feedback on this day than
any other PD I have ever been a part of. I keep
wondering why we didn't take our PD in this
direction a lot earlier. If we want classrooms
where we are teaching students to be
collaborative and more proactive in their
learning, don't we have to set up a culture
where we trust teachers to do the same?
14. What are some of the qualities of
