We had 80 people at our first Learning Meeting today, and they are ready to get busy! Thanks to all who attended! The group is really dynamic, and is already asking great questions! Under the able guidance of our facilitator, Dr. Russell Lowery-Hart, we created our groundrules for behavior, learned about the data and the study process, and got to know each other a little bit. Now I have some more things to do, including creating a blog where we can all post comments and have an ongoing dialogue (patience, please!), and also generating a review of the current and past trendlines of educational statistics for about the last 50 years.

This is going to be an amazing group, and I look forward to working with them all! Thanks for your time and energies!
