It is time to be writing again. Throughout my five decade education career, my thinking frequently considered new ideas for my teaching, my work and education in schools. Some of those ideas were frivolous and unrealistic, but others were ideas that could be molded into positive learning improvements. I am fortunate that in my decade education career I have been able to influence state policy, write curriculum, design professional development and inspire teachers and leaders. In every case, it was taking the time write and refine my ideas that turned creative ideas in to clearer, doable practices.
I am no longer working in any specific organization and enjoying more free time that some call retirement. I stay current reading and teaching educators in graduate programs as an adjunct professor. I still have thoughts and ideas about learning, some for my teaching and perhaps others in their work.
I am committing to write more frequently in this blog to convert my random thoughts to refining ideas which might inspire others to consider, challenge or even adopt. The blog format gives others a chance to offer feedback.
