teachers administration and trustees at the Challenges of Change conference at the Burl Holiday Inn Wednesday Mr Henning said school boards are organized to promote predic tability consistency and control This type of management provides a safe and cautious environment in which restraints keep teachers from selfexpression leaving only silence when it comes to change he explained Relying on consistency and con trol is not enough anymore and try ing harder with the system just doesn t do the job Mr Henning said to approximately people When there is enormous pressure Ontario population

system has to change so that every individual is for themselves and not only responsible to others at the top Mr added JOEL HENNING Education is undergoing a revolution which demands that training and education create more than future additions to the bureaucracy said Mr We re talking about changing the fundamental beliefs which define the relationship between teachers and students he said Recognizing these changes education will require ad to identify what it is they want to pursue become their own leaders make commitments and work toward those com Mr Henning told the conference members It requires individuals to make painful changes he said Move towards self management Stop waiting for those above you and take a position Mr en couraged Many education tion members adopt a tied hands approach and just want to make a living he explained But survival is jn your own hands he added Surviving means knowing what each persons purpose and not the purpose of the bureaucracy Find a purpose of your own and ar ticulate it Mr said No one else can instill a purpose in another person if there is to be heart in an organization he con tinued Individuals in the education system are fearful their jobs will be in jeopardy if they take a post tion Mr Henning said adding that they don want to get hit by the bullet The truth is that the bullet is already on the way The only thing you have control of is what position you are in when it hits you It is not easy for people in the school system to be authentic he said That is when people begin thinking about dress for success routines and what the ideal teacher is if there is one Mr Hen continued If individuals in the education system care about what they re do ing they have to know what they want to pursue and follow through with those ideals he maintains You have to move toward self management You have to act he said As an examiner of the educator s role in society Mr said teachers have to set innovative ex amples using creativity Teachers can teach anything better than by living it said Mr Henning He maintains that if school ad submit to the chal control deny selfexpression continually sacrifice and just want to
