experiences
to their individual child/children.
- Educators have the
knowledge base,
experience, current peer and professional resources to effect learning
strategies.

alternatives

their abilities to recognize when, and for whom, to effect change(s) in
their own teaching methods and environments.

dynamic,
Education focused community.

same/similar topic.

different
world : teaching and parenting (focus and strengths of each)
- Provide web master
assistance to
both parents and educators who cannot develop their own website at this
point in time.
GOALS

Store for
complete lesson packages or courses: Download and/or print/mail options.

Due to aggregate properties, a true objective evaluation is
unattainable.
Subjectivity dilutes the qualitative analyses.
