Becoming Change Agents

This workshop was life-altering for me.  Working with middle schooolers since my career started in 1993, I've been all about change, as well as constantly transforming myself as an educator to understand (and meet) the developmental needs of young adolescents. In fact, my middle schoolers are really responsible for allowing me to embrace such an attitude.  It's only natural that I was so open to this workshop.

How do see yourself as an agent of change?  How do you model taking risks and embracing change?  What can you do to encourage your students to become change agents?  And how is this all connected with 21st Century skills and learning?
