I am excited that the term "Change agent" has surfaced in the ranks of educators, whether adult or otherwise.  I believe hold heartily in the use of the term.  I first read about change agents in a book titled, "Change Agent" 1982 while studying at the University of North Dakota.  The title is so descriptive of the teaching profession.  I believe that if teachers begin to see themselves as "change agents" it would have a profound impact on how they are received by students.  Sometimes teachers are perceived as information pusher rather than agents of life change.   I hope the term catches fire among educators.
