5 Options for Active Participation~R4Ed.

posted 8 hours ago
2014-15 School Year:
1) School Validation Visits
2 hour visit(s) to public schools during the 2014-15 school year for on-site “evaluations” based on Learner-Centered R4Ed. criteria (anti-Common Core). Schools receive Red Seal of Approval/Removal, with optional half hour school assembly to maximize the teachable moment. Low time demand; tailored to your schedule. R4Ed. logistics and optional fb training provided before Visits. Accompanied by R4Ed. staff.
2) Public Endorsement of Goals
Off/On fb. Name, Photo, + single phrase identifier superimposed on jumbo “For R4Ed.”+ R4Ed. Goals beneath:
~Unplug “Education Reform”/privatization/Common Core from US public schools
~Limit Standardized Testing, Scripted & Screen-Based Teaching
~Support High Quality Public Education for ALL
~Increase Learner-Centered Instruction
3) Protest Song
"STOP! Put Your Pencils Down" and/or "Script, Screen & Standardization", along the lines of "We Are the World", with interactive digital option for students and teachers. Public ownership/Creative Commons License.
4) Donations
lf Validation Visits are more than a few or outside the NYC metropolitan area, R4Ed. staff will be required and a small budget will be necessary. Lance would be full time R4Ed. 2014-15, budget permitting, with hourly support from SUNY New Paltz college students. R4Ed. is currently seeking umbrella status under an existing, like-missioned nonprofit.
5) LLC Membership: Musical Media for Education (MME)
R4Ed. & MME play autonomous but complementary roles. Musical Media For Education is an independent Social Studies curriculum provider. MME was a sole proprietorship from 2003-2014, when it became an LLC. It is now positioned for a large-scale launch. Eventually MME products/services will split into independent profit and nonprofit entities. The opportunity to invest in MME LLC is a business consideration, whether or not to co-own an independent Social Studies curriculum provider through LLC membership. For background and investor information please scroll Larry L. Carlson if you are not already there. To reserve 1-5 membership shares, request the friendship of Larry L. Carlsson.
Thank You for taking a stand for kids, teachers & all of our future.
