Remember: Features of the Project1. “Whatever it takes - no excuse!”2. “Failing is not an option.”3. Principal is the driver of the project - You lead by example;4. Rest of staff are ‘in support’ - Leaders develop other

leaders, not followers!;5. Networking with others - Together we are stronger - We

connect, not compete - We celebrate success together!;6. Evidence based (File of all 8 SRC at first joint session) – If

you do it, show it to us!;7. You judge/critique yourself - We learn from others!;8. Support (face-to-face; telephone; sms; e-mail) - Our

support is as near/far as you want us to be!.

Ten Untruths in Education

1. Democratic decision making in schoolscreate a conducive school tone or culture;

2. Parent involvement is crucial;3. OBE approach is resource intensive;4. Resources (computers and libraries) will

make all the difference;5. The Dept. is not supporting teachers and

therefore they are de-motivated;

43

Ten Untruths in Education

6. Lack of learning is caused by the ill-discipline oflearners;

7. Our classrooms are overcrowded - smallclasses will make the difference;

8. It is difficult to achieve learner success inpoverty stricken communities;

9. Learners are not at the level they should bewhen they get to our schools (no pre- or nurseryschool; can’t read and write)

10. Teacher development will solve most of ourperformance problems.
