Author's notes:

I am just beginning to teach/learn. My first two years have been full of blunders and success stories. I suspect that I will always have ways to improve on anything I design or steal. My reflective nature will see to that. Anything I have posted is for the good of the many. Please take it and run, revise it for your own use, fix it if need be, but please keep me in the loop. I think that designing teaching tools is one of those projects that will get better with many cooks stirring the pot. If you change or perfect one of my tools please forward it to me. I would love to see what improvements are made.

Americans Deserve Leadership on Education
To boost America’s economy we must focus on strengthening K-12 education.

We need to realize that we aren't doing enough to assist our children for the future. We have to take it further. We don't need to work harder... just smarter. Promote reading and writing in every classroom. Develop opinions. Be open to new ideas. Change the future. Focus on thinking.

Stop rote memorization. Cut fill in the blanks. Ask questions instead of giving answers. Let's get the gears turning. We need real thinking in schools.
