Peter Holtz replied to Connie Weber's discussion 'collegiality... relationships in our work communities. Roland S. Barth's "Improving Relationships Within the Schoolhouse"'

Based on my personal experience, both as a teacher and as a parent, I agree with Barth about the importance of school culture and about the impact on student achievement of students. My own middle school, where I have taught English for 12 years,…

I am contacting you to see if you would consider collaborating with us on a new and exciting project- Designing Professional Development to Infuse Science Instruction with 21st Century Skills. Your perspective and experience will provide valuable input to shape the design and delivery of the PD. Participation will be appropriately rewarded.
We are primarily looking for high-school biology teachers in the New-England area, but we would be happy to collaborate with teachers from other states or science disciplines.
Please email me at tkarelitz@edc.org If you are interested in learning more about the project, our expectations from collaborators and the compensation involved.
All the best,
Tzur

Thus, I've created a variety of visuals to help people understand my thinking and the actions that I have put to work over the past 16 years to help build an infrastructure that would support non profits in many locations helping inner city kids go through school and into careers.

I encourage you to take a look and lend a hand if you see how these ideas could be applied in other cities than Chicago where the issues of poverty and size compound the problems of education.

"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."
