Recently we have been having discussions around the book Walk Out Walk On http://walkoutwalkon.net which was published earlier this year by Margaret Wheatley and Deborah Frieze of The Berkana Institute. We’ve been noticing the convergence between the school change movements that many of us connected to Teachers Teaching Teachers are involved with and this book. We have also taken note of the convergence between the Occupation movements and Walk Out Walk On. As it says in the book:
On Teachers Teaching Teachers, we have been talking to teachers involved with their local Occupy Wall Street movements, and we are looking for what we can learn from both that movement and Walk Out Walk On to further our commitments and understanding of change in education. And just to recap: We will be meeting on Wednesday, December 21, 2011 at 9:00 PM Eastern / 7:00 PM Mountain / 6:00 PM Pacific / World times: http://goo.gl/kSFLO.

Walk Outs are people who bravely choose to leave behind a world of unsolvable problems, scarce resources, limiting beliefs and destructive individualism. They walk on to the ideas, beliefs and practices that enable them to give birth to new systems that serve community. This is the story of an emerging movement of pioneering leaders and communities around the world who are self-organizing to create healthy and resilient communities.
