Dear World: I Need Your Help!

I am curious, excited, motivated, and I need input! 

I'm talking to all you brilliant, fantastic educators, parents out there, legislators, principals, custodians, paraprofessionals, counselors, ANYONE involved in the world of education!

I need your knowledge, curiosity, input, advice....

I want to collect bits of information, advice, insights, thoughts, concerns, anything you want to share when it comes to success of a child in today's educational experience, K-12.  Factors that support that success, or diminish a child's ability to become their best. 

Please send me examples of situations you have seen firsthand, leaving out infomation such as names and specific locations where these types of situations occurred.

My goal is this:  I want to research the types of conditions in which children find success and grow in their educational experiences.  I would like many different viewpoints and exerpts. I will be creating some type of resource for this information to be shared with the world!! 

As my friend, Angela Maiers, always says, "Together we Are Smarter!"

Please share anything!  It can be a story, a thought, an observation, a wish, a dream, anything you feel can make or break the educational experience of a child.

Thank you in advance for your participation!  I am excited to see where this project goes and what it can do for future generations of learners, especially my own two children!

And, thank you, Mike Sansone, for your brilliance on this project! :-)

Sincerely,
Jen Stover
