I felt ready to move on tonight, a great close to this class and a great start for this endevour. I have developed my content management(Thanks! drupal.org) for my coursework to a level I am comfortable with. the basics are here, but it will still evolve and get more reader friendly shortly. I will continue to develop my approach to education, and the system which contains it, and work to drive a decentralization of education administion. I believe this will create a condition for health in our community. I will take ideas from the open source community while also participating in the Drupal community. I will take pages from the books of the private education institutions like National University and turn Plumbob.org into a non-profit model. And I will develop some key conditions that I believe are vital to holding together this model; industrial works programs starting in middle school. It will bridge the gap between school and home with teach/work solutions for redesigning and rebuilding existing housing stock with passive solar techniques.
I finished my first class towards my teaching credential. I know what I have to do, and now I have 15 more classes to develop my concepts while I publish them here on plumbob.org/education. After I get my credential I will take 5 more classes at NU to work on refining these ideas and turning it into a Masters of Ed: Best Practices.
