18 Tweets on Ed Matters That Matter 2 Me

I began sharing my educational point of view on a variety of educational issues via Twitter in October 2009.  Thanks to those educators whose thoughtful contributions I've included amongs these 18 tweets.

For the past 45 years I've been passionate about seeking ways to provide quality education for every child. My point of view hopefully reflects my 10,000+ hours of experience as a teacher and principal (40, 000 would be more accurate).
