How? Through a collaborative process of
cooperatively working with other educators
(hopefully with some at OAGC's Conference)
using creative ideas developed by them and by
me, Craig Rusbult, an enthusiastic educator who
(during life on a road less traveled) earned a PhD in
Curriculum & Instruction by constructing
an integrative
verbal-and-visual model for teaching Scientific Method.
Currently I'm especially excited about creative ways
to teach two kinds of improvising, to solve problems
and to make music using an intuitively-effective strategy
for improvising — by playing along with chord progressions,
using a keyboard that highlights notes of 3 main chords with
musically-logical colorizing (red, blue, green) — to help us
teach older people (in social centers & living facilities) and
younger people (in K-12 schools) to enjoy music in new
ways when they improve their musical improvising.
{ and also their conversational improvising }
And I'm always excited about problem solving, as
in my seminar for OSU's Engineering Education.

Above and below are aerial photos of my UW Cities, where
I attended UW-FarWest (in Seattle) and UW-MidWest (in Madison),
enjoyed both of these wonderful cities. I moved to the first in September 1970
and got spring fever, with everything green and beautiful, smelling earthy after each
rain, appreciating the blendings of gray and sunshine, blue sky and white clouds.
Seattle was my first real city, by contrast with the vast megalopolis of SoCal,
where my old home city (Anaheim) blended into its neighbors on all sides.
Moving to Anaheim (family home, 1962-2020) was exciting yet comfortable,
then Seattle was a fun adventure, and so was Madison. And now Columbus!
