It would be great to have you on this panel if you're available. We know that you've been an advocate of positive change for a long time. Please let us know if you're interested, or if we can link you in to the website if you wanted to live stream from another location. Pat (on behalf of CIS 339) Hi David,

I had a very hard time with one of my seventh grade classes, at least in part because I had a very hard time finding projects for them to do... but it was VERY easy to find reading comprehension quizzes and tests for them to do. I feel like I didn't really help them much at all, because I didn't teach them how to analyze data or build an understanding of history based on a need to find solutions in the past to problems in the present.
