Thank you for going into such detail! I have a quick question: How did you use this technique for writing the original 4HWK? I'm guessing you made the headings for the concepts you wanted to discuss in an index and gave yourself 20+ pages to add to your ideas. Would you explain how you did it? Have you considered writing a book directed specifically to professional educators? How to quickly teach concepts (which engages students and nixes behavior problems), set clear boundaries with parents and administrators, while still accomplishing student learning? For example, if our administrators saw the instructional time benefit of teachers who only checked their email twice a day, they might be gung-ho of more ideas you advocate. Can't wait for the release date in December! Jane=) Notetaking Comment & 4HWW Suggestion
