Thank you for coming! And thank you for being the kind of teacher who cares enough to come here. Because you’re here, I’m going to
assume you are already doing the best you can and I am not going to try to tell you your business. That doesn’t mean I can’t offer you
some encouragement and ideas that might improve your situation. We are counting on teachers to tell us what they want to see here so
that we may be of more assistance.
1. Unions - Take control of your union. Let them know you want them to put education first. Elect officers that reflect your views. If you
can’t find any, run for office!
2. Peer support - Get together with your peers that feel as you do. You can offer each other support, look for ways to motivate each
other (as well as your less motivated co-workers), and work together to initiate or support positive change.
3. Enlist parents - I know many of you already do this, or at least try to. Don’t give up. Brainstorm with your peer group, administration,
and the PTA for ways to make this happen.
4. Check our Links. Many teachers are already having good results using the Khan Academy tutorials, and even assigning them as homework.
What would you like to see here? What are your specific challenges? Please tell us how we can make this site more helpful. We will be starting
a forum to allow you to share your successful strategies, questions, and concerns.

This is the "pre-launch" version of our website. If you are here, chances are it is because someone invited you specifically to come. Please look around with a
constructively critical eye. We hope you will assist us to make this site as effective as possible. We hope we always continue to grow, but the more we can
do pre-launch, the better first impression we will make. Thank you for your time and your assistance, Michael V. Fowler, President fftng1@att.net
