“The quality of your work impressed me. So,
too, did the eloquence of the interviewed on
the videotape [You Can Get There from Here].
Watching the video reinforced in my mind the
notion that education ought to be structured
more like the working world, that is less
textbook and lecture based and more project
based. Your Inventory America, Jr. curriculum
seems to have adopted that approach, and
with success, I hope.”

corridor, and give a copy of the smaller version
to Careers for Students of History to each junior
and senior major.”

“Your very attractive chart Connecting Core
Subjects arrived today. I have already hung it in
a place where I can study it from time to time.
It has come in a timely manner, since our
college is currently engaged in an extensive
review and revitalization of our general
education curriculum. Your chart provided
some good food for thought.”

“Until now [our son] has not had a clue about
how history could be a profitable way for him
to prepare for the future other than through
the teaching profession. Your charts provide a

as it is to Dave!”

write to tell you how wonderful they are! Your

you how great I think all of these charts are!”
