Life Happens!

Colleagues- I recently retired, built a new home, moved, and sold the old home.  Since May, my life has been hectic and filled with change.  We all go through these trials and tribulations, but it's time to get back to what I enjoy- Edumentality!  Although my office is still a work in progress, I unpacked my computer and here I am.  October's Protocol is immediately below this post. 

You may not know, but this website, as crude as it is, was born from my days at Cross Creek Early  college in Fayetteville, North Carolina.  I was the instructional liason between the school district and Fayetteville State University and we became a model school for early college.  The protocols that you enjoy started as a mini book for educators that came to the school for study visits.  We highlighted particular protocols and modeled them so that teachers could experience the protocols and understand the processes.  It was a huge success.  

Very important to the program was the catalyst organization, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. While I am no longer compensated by the foundation, I decided to branch out and continue to share strategies, methods, and philosophies through the Edumentality website,  I assure you, there is no charge for any of the information found here. My co-author in the compiled protocol book is Brenda Bass. I owe much to her as she has served as editor for many of the protocols within the website. Continuing to keep the website is my way to give back, much like the Gates Foundation did all those years ago.
