Miami Dolphin Head Coach, Nick Saban has a responsibility to develop his football team. This involves cutting (firing might be a more appropriate term) dozens of players until his team is at the NFL approved roster number of 53. I did not pay much attention to this process until I heard Coach Saban describe his team.
"We have three kinds of guys on our team," Saban said after conducting a practice in preparation for Sunday's home opener against the Bills.
(1st Type) "We have guys that get it; they play good; they understand how to play winning football.”
(2nd Type) "We have some guys that are trying to get it, and they are working hard every day. ... We are supporting them, and we want the guys that have it to support them.”
(3rd Type) "Then we have some guys that don't get it and don't know that they don't get it. We are trying to replace them."
One of the Dolphin players added, "That's how the program works, try to find the best players to win."
Are these TYPES of players found in our schools? Are there three types of teachers? Are there three types of Instructional Coaches? Are there three types of NESS Liaisons? Are there three types of NESS Program Facilitators? Are there three types of HRD Producers? Are there three types of Directors?
What do you do when a peer is unconscious and unaware? What is our role as support for the 3rd Type of player?

In Broward County we say "all children can learn". I hope we mean it. If we believe that all children can learn then logically - can all people learn?
