📘 The innovator's mindset by George Couros

In "The Innovator's Mindset," educator George Couros challenges the conventional, compliance‑driven model of education. He contends that rigid adherence to a fixed curriculum blocks students’ innate curiosity and the critical, creative skills required for success in a rapidly changing world. Couros calls on teachers and school leaders to cultivate environments that prioritize inquiry, reflective practice, and collaborative problem‑solving. By reorienting classroom dynamics towards innovation, educators can empower learners to become active contributors to society rather than passive recipients of knowledge.

📘 No struggle, no progress

by Howard Fuller

Fuller has always believed that it is important for poor and working class Black people to gain access to the levers of power dictating their lives. He believes that those of us who are educated and resourceful have a moral and historical responsibility to help them, and that is what he has always tried to do. This belief propelled him in some of North Carolinas poorest communities in the 1960s and pushed him into the bush, mountains, and war-torn villages of Africa nearly a decade later.
