By Linda Fisher Thornton We are not preparing students for success in the world where they will have to live and work. Some of the ways we currently think about "teaching" need to be scrapped and replaced. It will be increasingly important that teachers and other learning guides dig into complexity in order to help prepare students who need to handle increasing complexity in their lives and work.

The Disciplined Leader Series To some, the word discipline is a dirty word. It’s a word they hate to hear and hate to use. After all, discipline doesn’t sound sexy. The word connotes a dying to self. A falling in line. A giving up of oneself. Photo by Nirav Insomniac. And it does. But that’s not bad. Discipline is a needed trait as a leader.

When was the last time you were a learner? I mean, REALLY a learner, not just someone looking up an obscure fact on Google to settle a dinner-time conversation. If you haven’t had the opportunity to participate in some kind of formal learning in a while, especially if you have responsibility for helping others in your organization learn, I strongly recommend seeking out a learning opportunity and evaluating what you liked and didn’t like about it--I guarantee it will inject fresh life into your

Hubby was peeved with me. I couldn’t answer his question about whether or not the yard waste had been picked up. “Really, you don’t know?” He asked. “You went out to get the paper.

Tara Moore/Getty Images. In a famous scene in the 1967 movie The Graduate , a family friend takes aside Dustin Hoffman’s character, Benjamin Braddock, and whispers in a conspiratorial tone, “Plastics… There’s a great future in plastics.” It’s seems quaint today, but back then plastics really were new and exciting.
