We had the experience but missed the meaning…

- T S Eliot (Four Quartets)

A poem with some sobering ideas, encouraging us to look for meaning, not just accumulate experiences. In education, it means to me a reflective time, even if those moments of meaning are difficult.

 

Leaders shape contexts that bring strategies to life.
