What's New?

July 27, 2002:
* I am back! Lots of reasons why there have been no updates for 18 months but I will not bore you with most of the details. Main reasons: new position and another son! I have updated my extracurriculars and professional development sections and have added a new section detailing my "Admin. Experience".

Thank you to all who have emailed me regarding my Ontario Elementary Curriculum Links pages and my Curriculum Grid pages. I am astonished that 4 years later they are still being used! I have been very neglectful with the OECL site and do not have the time to maintain it any longer. It will remain online "as is" and hopefully the links that are there are still useful to you!
