I have come to despair talking to groups of educators - at one talk recently I said bluntly, "I'm talking to the wrong people." As Doug Delshaw summarizes, "The problem is, as Will Richardson mentions in his post Owning the Teaching... and the Learning, teachers have forgotten how to be learners: 'I hate to generalize, but the thing that seems to be missing from most of my conversations with classroom teachers and administrators is a willingness to even try to re-envision their own learning'" I'm not sure, honestly, that they ever learned. I once gave a talk (in an airplane hanger in North Bay) on personal professional development for teachers (Slides, Audio). maybe this the approach I should be taking in the future.
