Authoritarian regimes always seek to destroy educational institutions. It is happening. I know the work that I did, and the missions of these organizations, was important and constitutional. The elimination of these groups hurts our children and our country.

The other group I’m involved with is a workgroup that is helping to revamp the What Works Clearinghouse, a website that offers free, research-based instructional methods to any district, school, or teacher that wants it. This is so important for districts that can’t afford expensive curriculums.

One of the things I’ve been involved in outside of the classroom is serving on the Governing Board of the Mid-Atlantic REL, or Regional Education Laboratory, for the past six years.

I spent the holiday weekend in Portsmouth, NH recording my book as an audiobook at the Heinemann office. I’ve always dreamed of recording an audiobook, and recording my own, a book about critical thinking and civil discourse, felt timely and empowering.
