This Thursday, May 30th, my birthday, Debbie Madjlesi and I will board a plane to London, UK.  We are the fortunate recipients of a Fund For Teacher's Fellowship that is funding our trip to investigate further the Cambridge University Examination Curriculum that our school implemented two years ago. 

I am very excited because I love the Cambridge curriculum.  It is demanding and teaches our students to think, reason and apply what they learn.  Mrs. Madjlesi and I teach science at Corinth High School which is one of three schools in Mississippi that are part of a pilot program.  

While in England we will visit Cambridge University and three London high schools where we will observe the Cambridge program in action.  We will also pick the teachers brains and gain resources for ourselves and the other teachers at our school in other subject areas.  

I am very fortunate to be able to visit my step daughters and our four grandchildren in England.  I must also say a great big thank you to Simon Godden.  It was Simon that found the high schools we are going to visit.  I am sure it was more than a small amount of trouble to find the schools and then communicate with them about our background checks and such.  We are very grateful to him. 

Please check in later for news about our roaming about London.
