About Me
I founded Nimble Press in 1999 and like to work with both big companies and small organizations that make a difference in schools. I'm hoping that our little product, Grant Wrangler, will become one of those change agents. When I'm not reading and writing, I'm either dancing, cooking or gardening. And that's why I love San Francisco. I can do all those things in any season and any day of the week.

    Yep, that is a very valuable piece of work. Jenkins and his group at MIT are doing some really excellent work. I have several conversations with him and he knows about our work and has been very supportive.
    BTW, glad to see you resurrecting john dewey. While he could have used some of your editing in his writing his ideas with regard to the nature of education and schooling are as relavant today as they were back in the early part of the last century. Dewey was really done in by his disciple William Kilpatrick who was the popularizer and bastardizer of his ideas. While Dewey is considered by many as the father of progressive education it was really Dewey as glibly interpreted by Kilpatrick which really shaped the progressive school movement.

    No one said my picture looks cute. Can I borrow your hat for my picture?? Might help!

    Hi Karen - yes, I'll be at Educonn on Saturday. I wouldn't miss it. So many wonderful people to connect with. It would be great to catch up with you. I plan to join COSN - been asked to present so thinking it's time for me to do that. I would love a copy of the compedieum. Thanks, Barbara
