As teachers individualize and personalize teaching and learning, we may see crucial elements that need to be revamped. The following may initiate excitement and energy to empower teachers to visualize, dream and change.

- Evaluate future roles and interplay of teacher, student and content.
- Consider ways that human nature and child development factors are crucial determinants in the educational process.
- Establish educational expectations, practices, and content on the basis of best outcome for student and society rather than on ease of measurement.
- Visualize roles of teachers as a dynamic continuum rather than static.
- Compare the importance of individual satisfaction and mastery or competitive norms as the measure of schooling success [norm referenced or criterion referenced testing].
- Address the issues that may emerge if we utilize process and product as outcomes of educational practice.
- Explore the value and importance of teaching people to be fully and clearly human and treated with dignity as well as being taught to provide that sense of dignity to others.
- Consider implications of viewing teaching as a service and profession.
- Understand and honor that emotional, social, philosophical development and human relationship skills are not automatically acquired in the same way that physical development occurs.
- Address ego development as part of education - i.e. the ability to first understand self and then see and give credence to others’ views, others’ needs, others’ cultural perspectives and to feel some sense of obligation to live life from the dual vantage point.
