A Change Gone Come

As those who aspire to be future leaders and owners, it is imperative that we have a mentality of get it done no matter what the obstacle that we have to overcome. Along the journey to the top one will face every problem or deterrent possible to keep you from reaching your goal. However, it is of upmost importance that you seize the day! Get your foot in position and then KICK THE DOOR DOWN!

No box thinking is an innovative way to reach a moveable target that has yet to be hit. When in the business of educating 21st century Learners that the research has yet to solve one must use imagination and innovation. Waiting around on the research will further widen the gap of achievement that presently exists between students and student groups!

A change gone come

When will the change come and the culture of success live on?

You have several different problems and deficits that success seems as though it's Mission Impossible part FOREVER! 

So that's when you begin to read up on the latest research based solution and come back to present it to staff to find out it's already been done! That means that what was once old and outdated has now been polished and shined up to be the solution to the NOW of education. Therefore with your tail tucked between your legs you run back to the RESEARCH to see which BEST practice is next! 

However, after shoveling through countless hours of who shot JR, the only thing one can find is HOW TO BEAT STAAR (or insert your STATE test title)! This is not the permanent solution to the 21st century learner so you are forced to go outside the box with interventions for this kid and that kid to find out the 10% rule cannot be hid! So now look what you did, hopped right back in the box like a little kid who was running from the monster and hid. 

What if I told you that all it took was a little innovation & inspiration to solve the 21st century learner needs engagement. That's where the NO BOX THINKING originated from, to set out to reach a generation that has faded into mediocrity by this medication we call education!

Now one may ask what does this NO BOX THINKING cost? My answer would be countless more students being sacrificed due to the inside or outside the box thinking. It takes a special person to operate in NO BOX THINKING, one who has taken that deepest fear 12 rounds and came out victorious!

You see as stated by: Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

When one thinks about outside the box thinking they ultimately go back into the box when pressure it applied! Thus the creation of NO BOX THINKING. We have to think of ways to educate the students who don't respond to outside the box thinking!

So are you ready to challenge the status quo and educate like no one has done before. Close your eyes and sing it with Mr. Sam Cooke CHANGE GONE COME!!!!!!! 

NO BOX THINKING is more than a movement, it's a way of life and it's so unique that it doesn't call the qualified it QUALIFIES THE CALLED! 

The next few blog entries will shed more light on the journey to NO BOX THINKING. Giving a description of innovative personnel practices, strategic interventions, state of the art professional development and many more ways that will ensure you are blazing the trail and being the research.
