"We need to let go of the idea that heroic individuals will change schools." Agreed. The media pounds home the myth of the 'superhero' president (or CEO, or quarterback, or rock star, or whatever) who solves everything), but the myth of the heroic teacher does more harm than good. But must the alternative be to "work collectively", to "collaborate?" I don't agree, because this requires subsuming one's personal values, beliefs and objectives to a common vision (and usually one defined through a faulty process). People must see their own success realized through the larger success, which requires a model of cooperation, not collaboration.
