Summer time

It is early in July and I always count July and August as summer even though I usually stop teaching somewhere around early to middle April.

The last little while has been spent de-cluttering my life - at the office and at home. I'm not quite there yet but I have made good progress. I have thrown books and papers out that were old in the early 1970's.

I am sitting here in the middle of preparing for my Business Ed curriculum course. For a terrific two days earlier in the Spring I sat with my colleagues Alec, Tracy, Helen and Rhonda and reworked the whole Business Teacher Education Program. My last task in this project is to re-write the course outlines for all of our courses to reflect the ideas we discussed and worked through during those two days.

So I am trying to re-work the curriculum course to be as current as possible and to reflect the thinking of the subject area. It is a challenge I enjoy. If any reader has any ideas please comment - although I can't believe that anyone is still checking this site after such a long time between entries.

I'm going to the DPE National Board meetings in Greensboro at the end of this month and so I will see Riley. Here are some reasonably current pictures of my beautiful baby.
