Please take 4 minutes and 33 seconds to view the ASCD (The Association of Supervision and Curriculum Development) Whole Child video and you will understand why Professor Linda Darling-Hammond will hopefully be appointed as the U. S. Secretary of Education by President-Elect Barack Obama.

 Linda is not only a brilliant educator, scholar, practitioner and communicator, but she is, just as importantly, a loving, caring person and teacher of teachers who places youngsters and teachers first as she advances towards the national goal of providing quality education for all of America's youth.

Thank you.

Richard
