My fifty years of education professional work holds many memories. More tangible memories are copies of the many publications I have written. I have kept copies of most of the education professional materials I have written, edited, and served as a co-author or honorary author. This journey has been rewarding, from my graduate school dissertations to the most recent Synergizing Success book for ACTE. I never considered myself a writer, but recognizing taht putting ideas into words is impactful communication, I dove into writing. These old publications are now memories, and most are no longer available. These copies have collected dust on my bookshelf for several years.
It is time to get rid of these paper copies and recycle these pages into new ideas and books. The picture below shows these publications, including Cornell dissertations, student textbooks from the 80s, and International Center for Leadership resource kits/handbooks from early 2000. All of these are no longer for purchase. Skimming through the books brought many memories of the people I worked with. It is a lot of productive work that I could not done without the help of others. Much of this educational content is outdated, but much of it is still valuable. I counted up over 3,000 pages of content on the International Center publications written over a decade.
I have converted most documents to digital form so colleagues and I can continue accessing them. I plan on writing more blogs on pieces from these publications. Here is the link to my education archive page. If you have any questions, please contact me.
