"Schools today serve and shape a world in which there can be great economic
opportunity and improvement if people can learn to work more flexibly, invest in their future financial security,reskill or relocate themselves as the economy shifts around
them, and value working creativelyand collaboratively."

"I argue that knowledge societies process information and knowledge in ways that
maximize learning, stimulate ingenuity and invention and develop the capacity to initiate and cope with change.[…] Economic success
and a culture of continuous innovation depend on the capacity of workers to keep learning themselves and from each other.”

"We live in a knowledge economy, a knowledge society. Knowledge economies are stimulated
and driven by creativity and ingenuity. Knowledge society schools have to create these qualities, otherwise their people and
their nations will be left behind."

“We can promote a high investment, high capacity educational system in which
highly skilled teachers are able to generate creativity and ingenuity among their pupils,
by experiencing creativity and flexibility themselves in how they are treated and
developed as knowledge society professionals."

"A strong professional learning community is a social process for turning information into
knowledge. It brings together the knowledge, skills and dispositions of teachers in a school,
or across schools, to promote shared learning and improvement."
