I’ve been in education for fifteen years, starting as volunteer, then English Teacher, then Principal of the upper school, the Head of school. While an administrator, I contnued to teach, and since the shcool I was at has closed, I’ve returned to the classroom.
But I’ve returned only part-time, in order to pursue time spent tutoring and mentoring, as well as acting as executive director fo the National Coalition of Small Schools.
My CV can be seen here.
Can small schools change the world? I think we need to approximate, as best we can, the ideal of one teaching one, as it is with parents and children, if we want our kids to have the intelligence, compassion, flexibility and wisdom to solve the problems we are leaving for them.
This is what we have; in my humble opinion, we’d better do something with it.

Like the new site Norman, agree about NYC. A couple of summers ago I did a day long personal photosafari from WTC to Central Park on a 105 degree July day. Got to the International Center for Photography 5 minutes before closing… shouldn’t have stopped at 2 of the 7 Barnes & Nobles I passed!
