An Email: An Idea Incubates

Just when I thought my summer was planned, I received an invitation from Mr. Paul Herdman of the Rodel Foundation inviting me to join a group of educational professionals from Delaware and visit Finland!

What? Is it really true? Yes - I am hugely interested in the school improvement movement in our country and I have been a part of many committees and groups to seek solutions. Just this summer I have studied the Common Core, rewrote curriculum and collaborated to improve lessons in my 8th Grade Language Arts Classroom in Milton, Delaware.

I looked up Finland.  On Google Maps, on Google Earth and Wikipedia!

Yes!   I will go to Finland and explore their awesome educational system!

We leave on Saturday, August 18th!
