About Me
Since 1975 I've led a volunteer-based tutor/mentor program that connects inner city kids with workplace volunteers, in structured, non-school, site-based programs. I now work to make such programs available in all high poverty neighborhoods of Chicago and other big cities. Learn more by reading my blog and visiting my web site.

    Sounds great! I know Janine Kessler who teaches with your nephew. I am leaving town for a few days but I would love to get in touch with you in July about this. I think it would be a great thing for my students as well as yours!

    Hi Daniel--- A thousand apologies for the delay in this response! I've been searching for you over at Educators' PLN, and I just figured out that you were here at Classroom 2.0! I'm taking a look at your organization; thanks for pointing me to it. I'm right here on campus, so I'm very interested in hearing what people have to say at the conference in May. -- Again, sorry about the delay. --Tim

    Hi Daniel,

    I will be happy to share my projects with you and look for new ways to collaborate. I believe that a real change in education will come from the bottom up,through private initiatives and through the direct involvement of individuals (parents,educators) ,associations,foundations  and corporations.

    I have coached in 2011 a team of kids (forth grade) to the FLL robotics competition and I will participate this year also.These days I have contacted the local Goodwill and Salvation Army chapters and offered them some free robotics classes for disadvantaged kids.

    I will take a look at your web site to learn more about your activities.

    Best regards,

    George
