Hello Bridget. I have already read the fisrt two chapters of the book and I am completely amazed of the way the author thinks on education in terms of industry. I do not really share this perspective but there are lots of interesting concepts to be applied at school. I would like expressing my opinions of these chapters regradless my different point of view about education.

I completely agree that we need to be open minded because the world has changed a lot and will continue changing, which means that is mandatory to have a "growth" mindset to get along with students. According to the author innovator's mindset is essential to allow our students become global citizens, as well as to promote solving problems strategies among them because it has to do with a way of thinking that foster creativity. I mean, we must create a learning environment in which the pursuit of improvement is endless.

Besides, regarding what innovation is and isn't, I absolutely agree with the author's concept about innovation does not neccessarily have to do with technology, on the contrary, I think that we can innovate with out technological resourses at school. All we need is to be aware of why is our what. I mean, we must always ask ourselves for the reasons we have to do what we do and the way to do it better. I also believe that if we are analytical about our practice, we will encourage our colleagues to be like that. Of course, technology is a great tool we can use to improve creativity and critical thinking among students and colleagues as well.

Furthermore, There are some other things that I do not agree with, like the example of the teacher who used something he watched in a movie to help his stutter student, Musharaf, even though, he could overcome his problem, I think the teacher was very eclectic and careless to prove something with did not have any research support. He was lucky but I would not take that risk with any of my students because I do not consider them guinea pigs.

According to failure management, I agree with the author's emphasis that lead us to be aware of accepting it as part of the process but never as the final outcome. If we want to help equip our students for life, I mean, we teach them how to make changes trying to be better and more creative, we must model that failure could be inevitable but it could never be the expected option.

Finally, all I see in this two chapters has to do with administration theories, such as Taylor's who says that there is always a better way of doing things and a more recent one I heard without knowing the athor that says that a good administrator has to smoke under the water (Be able to do the impossible by playing around which the best option is), fly with the motors off (Do not show off  about what  is being done) and stand up in the eyelashes (Do new things with the real budget). Anyway, I will never be agree with sentences like "We need to develop a culture that focuses on doing whatever it takes to ensure that we are successful in serving all our students". I hope not to betray my convictions for being accepted for my students. In what has to do with being aware of each student's needs and interests I think that it is excellent but not feasible when you have more than three hundred thirty students to serve.
