A Note from Kathleen Butler

I have had great joy in working as a professional developer with educators for the past 22 years. Your insight into leadership issues and thoughtful consideration for teaching and learning through ViewPoints on Style has been invaluable to me.

If you are an educator who has worked with ViewPoints, I would enjoy receiving an email note from you about your efforts. It has been our constant position that individual teachers need to find their own individuality of style, for themselves and with their students. And, although we hold firm to certain guiding principles of quality teaching and learning, we know that you have made creative and effective connections of your own. Click here to contact me.
