Paula and I have made the Big Switch: West Coast to
East Coast. I am riding the wave of data-driven
decision making in public education, having taken a
position as chief data training specialist for a K-12
educational resource firm in Cambridge, MA. The
position is part of a three year research project
being conducted for the US Dept. of Ed. A side benefit
has been that the company has also purchased my data
analysis software for resale to public school
districts and other vendors (Dell Computer and
Harcourt Assessment to name two). We are living
in the historic district of Groton, 35 miles northwest
of Boston, in a 171 yr. old colonial antique home.
Quite a switch from a ranch style in the high desert of
central Oregon.
