As I think back over the thirty years I've spent in the field of education, I am aware of an incredible sense of gratitude for the opportunity I've had to make a difference in the lives of children, and to work with others who are also dedicated to making a difference. I've been fortunate to work at the Desert/Mountain SELPA, an organization that is dedicated to "the relentless pursuit of whatever works in the life of a child." It was a tough decision to leave the SELPA after over 16 years, but I've done so because I believe that I can bring my expertise and passion to a broader group of educators in order to influence the lives of even more children. Beginning in January 2014, Innovative Educational Solutions will be available to provide professional learning opportunities to individual educators, schools, districts, and county offices of education throughout the US and abroad. I look forward to meeting new people and getting to know educators who are passionate about excellence and achievement for ALL students.
