Longtime technology educator Dr. Wesley Perusek has pioneered innovative projects in New Jersey and Ohio. He proposes the development of a cadre of experienced educators to help teach science, technology, education and math. He writes:

Imagine the potential of just those retired educators listed if a mechanism was in place to bring them all to one or several focus groups. Problems in education remain and grow almost daily. Look alone at Colin Powell’s America’s Promise Alliance and the drop-out problem.

Look at the National Commission on Adult Literacy citing: “More than half of U.S. workers lack basic education and more than 1.2 million young adults – one in three – drop out of high school each year.”

How do networks of good people doing good works begin?
