My next step was to enroll in a teacher training program. As I worked my way through the coursework, there was one book that we were assigned that has stuck with me to this day. I don't remember the class, but the book was Savage Inequalities, by Jonathan Kozol.

Savage Inequalities; Great Teachers; Desire for Change
In the dot com bust of 2000, I had decided to leave technology and enter into education. It started by substitute teaching in a local school district. I tried may hand at all levels. Finally, I had found my calling, teaching at the High School level. I enjoyed the kids and the faculty was passionate about education and I felt truly welcomed.
Rainy days and avatars
May 26th, this is pretty late in the season for it to rain in California but it's good weather to remind us why teachers have classroom libraries.
The Gods must be crazy
This is my first blog, and I'm going to start with why I decided to create Classroom2Classroom. This project began about 8 months ago. My neighbor was getting ready to relocate to Wisconsin and he was going to have a garage sale. So, if we had anything, "feel free to put it out".
Not one to pass up a chance to clear out the garage, we gladly joined in. At the last minute, my wife handed me three bags of children's reading books.
