My Personal Interests Include:
Sailing, traveling, and horseback riding, my black and white cat Friday, another one named Guavaberry a Chocolate Siamese whose ancestors came from the pirate ships of the Caribbean, and our 2 dogs Maggie and Mollie. Sadly all our pets have crossed over, it's the first time in 25 years I don't hear 4 paws around me.
Integrating Literacy, Music, and Technology into the Classroom; Teaching Teachers about Dialect Speakers and how to bridge from Dialect to the Standard; Self-esteem and learning; Development of higher level critical thinking; More student involvement in their own learning; Motivation techniques; Multicultural education and equity; Assessment that is Intelligence - Fair; New directions in teacher education and technology development training; Collaborating between schools, universities, community and business; Building community among Parents, Teachers, Students, and Business.
It distresses me that I can't return perfect work. Unshackled from the talking head world where earnings per share mean more than finding the truth, I will tell you that there won't be any corporate considerations, no earnings per share issues, no worries about advertisers and what they might think. Right is its own defense.
