Too much out of touch. I would so want to be at one of your appearances in the midwest or east coast. I will try to keep in formed. Please help the process. Your area touched my early interest in "perceptual styles"--those differences in how each of us learn. You have taken it to such an advanced degree. I would love to sit down with you and know about your experiences. WOW!!! Love Mel Hi Judy What a wonderful “new” career you have developed and I only knew that you had gone to the “classroom”.

Wheatley that inquiry is more rewarding and knowledge constructing than the typical teach-to-the-test routines imposed on many teachers by today's standardized test system. “The search for the lessons of the new science is still in progress, really in its infancy…In this realm, there is a new kind of freedom, where it is more rewarding to explore than to reach conclusions, more satisfying to wonder than to know, and more exciting to search than stay put. Curiosity, not certainty, becomes the saving grace.” M. Wheatley I agree with Dr. Willis and this quote by M.
