I am working on two fronts. One in a school reform project called
the Middle School Initiative, a Carnegie based school reform initiative
which collaborates with 12 New York City public middle schools to
redesign the ways they work with students. I am a staff and curriculum
developer with this. The other hat I wear is with a large scale
pre-service initiative done in conjunction with 3 community colleges
and the Stevens Institute of Technology to encourage teachers to
integrate the internet into their teaching repertoire.
I have two articles being published this
year. One is for Bank Street's Occasional papers called "A
Little Bit of Everything: Teaching and Travelling Abroad."
The other, which is being published by EI is a personal and pedagogical
reflection on 9.11 called "Acts of Conscience and Acts of
Care: Rejecting Normalcy in a Time of Terror." Finally,
this Spring I will be completing a multimedia worked entitled The
Rebeka/Zora Chronicles 1980-1990: A Father's Diary.
