- About Me
- I've led a volunteer-based non-school tutor/mentor program in Chicago since 1975. I created Tutor/Mentor Connection in 1993 to aggregate information about similar programs all over the Chicago region and to help each program get the resources, ideas and talent they need to constantly improve. I created Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC in 2011 to continue this work.

I added a new map to my photo album on Future of Education today. It's one of many you can see here and here. I've also added an interactive Tutor/Mentor Program Locator, that enables site users to create their own map views.

I've led a volunteer-based, non-school tutor/mentor program in Chicago for more than 30 years where we connect inner city kids with volunteers who live beyond poverty and model jobs and careers and education levels not consistently modeled in high poverty neighborhoods. In recent research, this is called "bridging capital".
I have created a library of information to help people understand the challenges of living in poverty, and how… Continue

"The depth of your observations from last night is still resonating with me. I'm trying to think of another interview I've given where the questioner understood the material so well that he/she so regularly (and fluidly) went into new intellectual territory. I can't think of any. Pretty amazing. Thank you."

I think you are exactly right. That is why we have convened business leaders, teacher unions, legislators, other non-profit foundations, and other education leaders from around the state with our project. We believe that in order to change the system, you must work with ALL people within the system. Eventually, we will include teachers, principals, parents, and students in our transformation.

I hope you are doing well. I would love to browse your sites and will do so later this week. Most of the work that I do at KWF revolves around system change in public school systems, so I may not be the best person for you to connect with here at KnowledgeWorks. Once I have had a chance to review your information, I will pass it on to the appropriate people.
