We seem to be hell bent on researching the past, and not so much changing the future. <br /><br />I'm the Founder of The Active Engagement Movement in Education. It's driven by a Leadership Framework that identifies teachers, students, and 10 other leadership layers from the educational, public, and private sectors. Everyone has a leadership role to play.<br /><br />The Movement is a break from the past where we searched for and studied pockets of engagement when and where we could find them. I'm interested in creating a teaching and learning environment (K-12) where engagement is not merely discovered, but where it is expected at every level. <br /><br />My goal is to reduce the dropout rate in the U.S.--currently between 30 and 35 percent--by 50 percent by 2020. I'll need all the help I can get.<br /><br />Visit my blog, activeengagementclearinghouse.blogspot.com, and make a post. Then look for The Official Active Engagement Movement Website coming soon (www.activeengagementmovement.com). <br /><br />I'd love to here from you and your associates.<br /><br />KenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6727679907475574683.post-71208193321415177852010-01-24T16:40:06.476-07:002010-01-24T16:40:06.476-07:00Great insight Nancy!

I might add that teachers have a responsibility to teach the ability to find GOOD information instead of simply searching wikipedia.<br /><br />Keep it up!Geoff Shttp://www.geoffschoenberg.comnoreply@blogger.com
