Summer Vacation


I am thoroughly enjoying my summer vacation. The "honey-do" list is nearly complete and my own list of "personal" projects are nearing resolution. Professional reading and "fun" reading have helped to round out my time. I just finished Executive Orders by Tom Clancy. Fascinating! The Testament by John Grisham was also very good. I have also read a number of books regarding Differentiated Learning and Brain Based research. When I am not reading , completing lists, or attending workshops.....I am really excited about an IPOD class I am taking next week... I can be found in the pool (backyard "blow-up") or at the beach. While summer is good....real good...I am looking forward to getting back into the classroom and, more importantly, back with the students.

Differentiated Learning


I just returned from the National Conference on Differentiated Learning in Las Vegas. I came away from the conference with a fresh perspective of instructional practices in the classroom and I am excited to apply some of these practices in the Fall. Susan and I were also able to spend some time exploring the casinos of Vegas and to have some R & R at the pool.
