Jane Wisdom shared this amazing site! I am the assistant principal at Kaneland High School in charge of Curriculum....and boy....am I impressed at what you have put together! I worked one year with Nicole at East and I believe I met you at Jane's right before your wedding. I understand you guys are back in this area. Do you visit schools? Are you officially consulting? My head is swimming with ideas for our teachers. Again....excellent.

If thats the case, forget Chicago and make the 4 hour ride over to Iowa City. They need some major help in the Rhetoric department. Hope all is well!

I have been following your emails and I'm swamped at the moment trying to get out from under being interim dept chair. Once I am back from a much needed vacation, I will join a group. I think this is a great site and can't wait to share it with my music ed students.
Oh and good luck...we've been living in temporary digs for a few months and our things are in a warehouse in Jersey as well.;)

At 3:02pm on July 28, 2009, Suzanne Choo said…: There's another interesting book I'm reading now about Dave Levin and Mike Feinberg, the people who started Kipp - "Work hard, be nice: How two inspiring teachers created the most promising schools in America" by Jay Mathews. Picked it up at the TC bookstore. I don't know about how they select kids for KIPP but there's something about their strategies for school re-structuring and classroom management that I'm still debating about.

At 8:52pm on July 26, 2009, Suzanne Choo said…: Hey Ryan, Great talking to you and Nicole yesterday. You're very entertaining as usual. anyway here's the hyperlink I was talking about - http://inlovewithwords.com/hypertext/
It's a simple hypertext story I used to introduce something that most Americans would remember about Singapore. You should balance it by reading the attached article though.

At 9:08am on July 23, 2009, Nick Sousanis said…: yeah - i didn't mean to. it made me sign in, and i tried to sign in through nsousanis@gmail.com. Can you delete that one? Sorry for the trouble. Also, i've seen some of the threads, just haven't come up with great responses yet....

At 9:33pm on July 22, 2009, Donna E. Alvermann said…: Ryan, I'm going under with work and deadlines this summer. Hopefully, I'll be able to be more attentive to this ning in the fall.

At 7:40pm on July 22, 2009, Denee Tyler said…: Ryan, if you will delete the one that uses mrstylerenglish as the sign in, that would be wonderful.

At 2:45pm on July 22, 2009, Sydney Eagleton said…: Thanks for the advice! I'm still getting used to the best way to navigate around so I appreciate it!

At 2:01pm on July 22, 2009, Amy Aurelio said…: That awesome. I'll bet those were incredible shows. I so regret not seeing him at the Metro when he was here. I had the good fortune to talk to Mary Guibert after a tribute event at Uncommon Ground in Chicago in 2000.

You're kidding... No, I had no idea, but I'll definitely check that link out. Thanks.

At 5:35pm on July 15, 2009, Eric Goodman said…: Hey Ryan,
Thanks for sending the link - looks like a valuable community you've got going here, and I look forward to participating. Will post some videos and music soon. We're performing Thus Spoke The Spectacle live this Friday, the 17th, at Bluestockings Books if you're interested. Maybe I'll post it as an event.
