I think of EDUCATION as a complex process, focused on developing attitudes and aptitudes...I think of EDUaction as people using those attitudes and aptitudes to make a difference.

And to those who would use a bean-counter mentality, emphasizing standardized tests and restrictive standards to demean our teachers and public schools, a gentle reminder: not everything that can be counted, counts...and not everything that counts can be counted. (Einstein)

HAPPY NEW YEAR: HUGS ALL AROUND!

The new year brings unlimited opportunities for EDUaction Now advocates. "Making a difference" is always at the top of my resolutions, and I hope you feel the same way. I also hope our few interactions at this blog have added to that goal, and I thank you for stopping by---stay in touch!

If you have not heard of the free hugs campaign, I hope you enjoy this video; check out the details at their website: http://freehugscampaign.org/

Happy New Year!

HUGS!!!!

WELCOME TO MY WORLD

Welcome to my blog: EDUaction NOW.

The name comes from a paper I wrote as an undergraduate almost 50 years ago. I submitted the paper, "EDUaction is the Answer for the Future" for an educational foundations' class and it was well received, but the word EDUaction was circled and red-penciled with a small "sp"---I guess the professor was a former English teacher!!!

So, all these years later, I decided to bring "EDUaction" back to life----no red pen markings, just important ideas, comments, questions, and suggestions that I hope will make the world of education a better place.

I look forward to our many interactions!!
