Abstract	In this article, the authors describe how the quest for continual growth has taken its root at Vestal Central School district. Located at the heart of upstate New York, educators at Vestal Central School district have created a spirit of "kaizen," a Japanese word meaning the relentless quest for continual improvement and higher-quality performance. Teachers, students, and administrators are committed to the district's vision of continual learning. The culture of kaizen has created leadership among teachers in an environment in which adults are encouraged and supported to take risks in a collaborative, reflective manner. The evidence shows up in teachers' practice and student learning every day. (ERIC).
