Workin' it


I am a consultant. I consult. If ever you need a consult, please see me. But not a medical consult. Though I am quite willing and able to assess your mental capacity if you should choose to cut me off and cause an accident then drive away. If I were to see you again, I would have no problem offering a diagnosis.

At any rate, back to my consulting skills: I have recently joined forces with the School Improvement Network on a project aimed at closing the minority achievement gap. It feels so great to be back in the saddle again and contributing to the big world of education--all from the comfort of my own home (though I do so miss working with the kids directly.)

I stumbled into this, really. A friend from church is VP for the SINET and I offered to send him my resume should they need any help from a former English teacher. He contacted me a few weeks later, and we got started changing the world. I'm only working part-time, though, so it might take a few weeks.
