You will notice that I have attended quite a few schools and have been a participant in many programs , and have been involved in these activities as a student,observer, evaluator, presenter and developer. I have met some wonderful people in these situations and the experience has provided me with a never ending appreciation for the large number of able people in the world who have made a difference in the thinking of our society. Though my training and experience has been in the areas of science,mathematics,technology, history, and science teaching. I have spent a great amount of time reading about art, poetry, history, philosophy, sociology, and the psychology of learning. My local library can testify to my frequent use of it services.

I am very much concerned about the most valuable natural resource that this country possesses,ITS YOUNG PEOPLE. We in this country don't do enough to help them reach their educational and emotional potential. Also, there are many people in the human community who have ideas, thoughts, and projects that could modify and increase the sum total of the world's knowledge. I know that I am “old” but I want to help young people especially those who reside in Urban Areas. I have developed a program that can assist any teacher to be interested, excited about science, to extent that they would enjoy teaching it to young children. I can even do this with young children and “grouchy adults” . .I think that I can help teachers to intelligently, imaginatively and compassionately address these issues
