Column by Elena YangIn the previous post on diversity/multiculturalism, I focused mostly on the differences between groups, such as males and females, or white and African Americans.
Equally important, if not more so, are our conversations across the differences within a group.
For instance, many of us have more “issues” with our family members than with someone of different racial background or religious background.
Similarly, within a racial group, there can be painful dealings with members’ differences. Read More

Baldrige in Education: Roots and Reasons for Hope
By Christine Schaefer
How did a quality awards program originally aimed at helping U.S. manufacturers become more competitive evolve to help school districts and other education institutions improve their performance, too?

In fact, the Baldrige Program began preparing for that expansion in the mid-1990s. Early efforts included outreach to education organizations to seek their input on the criteria and to develop other resources to help such Read More
Day Journeys to the Middle of Nowhere: Cordova
Travel Column by Kirsten LaskeyWhen my sister and I were kids, we would spin a plastic globe, close our eyes and halt the sphere with our index fingers.
