Education for Problem Solving
where

                 I've written a wide variety of web-pages.  A few
                 of them are listed in a wallet-card overview, and
                 the links will take you to places later in this page,
                 to descriptions & links for some pages I've made:

                I'm an enthusiastic educator who wants to work with
             others, designing activities that help students improve
             their problem-solving skills.  Some ways to do this (by
             building two-way bridges between school and life, for
             transfers, motivations & confidences, metacognition)
             plus music improvising, ballroom dancing & juggling,
             how I didn't learn to ski & then did (+ other stories,
             re: sports, dogs, Life on a Road Less Traveled,...),
             younger Satchel Paige Age, the benefits of music,
             and more,* are in [the page you're now reading].

             * including pages about new homes for items and
             my dog and – finally back in old Madison! – myself.
             update:  since May 2022 my new home is Columbus.

       The top of page has links for eduWebsite - bio - improvs.
        Below are links to many pages I've written.  I suggest that
        you first read the list to see the topics, then (if you want)
        go back and click links for any pages that look interesting.

        Building Educational Bridges between School and Life
        (to improve student motivations & confidence, plus transfers)
        is part of my website about Education for Problem Solving
        (where problem solving is making things better) that has
        visually-logical Action Diagrams (to show Reality Checks, and
        Quality Checks with mental-and-physical symmetry) that you
        can understand with enjoyably-satisfying discovery learning,
        plus Accurate Understanding & Respectful Attitudes and more.
        Also, stories (welding, not-skiing, joy,...) and my influences &
        learning from experience & kindness + empathy & edu-topics
        and why so many people respected my sister, and loved her.

        Using Prayer for Problem Solving (for living more effectively)
             as described in Bible Verses about What-and-How in Life ;
        how Louis said yes to God & forgiving, to become Unbroken.

        Thinking Skills:  Problem Solving  Creativity  Critical Thinking
        (including the “Monday + Tuesday” of an influential teacher),
        Musical Improvisation & Theory and Power Tools for Physics
        and how I didn't learn to ski (but then did, by using an insight)
        and learned to juggle (in 12 yr, 45 min) & swim (in 5 seconds),
        returning to tennis in 2021 (with two-handed strokes on L & R,
        surprised by how my basic “natural actions” were not working);
        a youtube channel for my juggling/dancing & joyfully cute dog
        and music playlists (instrumental featuring Gershwin, + vocal);
        my PhD Dissertation (with huge ToC) about Scientific Method,
        Proton Warring & Wooing by Active Bases (acids are passive),
        Einstein's Theory of Relativity Invariance (learn it in 5 Minutes),
        & helping students improve thinking skills in their science labs,
        teaching ESL & Ballroom Dancing (with transfer-of-patterns) &
        Juggling & Juggling Video+Photos  –  Science for Arts & Sports
        { synchronous running (effective+illegal) & make bamboo flutes
        & The Physics-and-Physiology of Musical Harmony (for ears)
        & Splitting Out the White when Mixing Colored Light (for eyes) }
        and my innovative verbal-and-visual representations (used for
        problem-solving actions, ballroom-dancing transitions, concept-
        networks in physics theory, patterns in music theory, and more)
        and Common Sense (+ Schrodinger's Cat) in Quantum Physics
        and Reality 101 and Fine Tuning of Nature in a Multiverse? —
        a younger Satchel Paige Age (he asked “how old do you feel?”)
            – in most ways my Paige Age is younger than my actual 75 ;
            I'm trying to live healthy to slow down my rate of slowdown ;
            and my sports (tennis, football,... plus Anteater Olympiad ;
        how NIL-and-Portal is ruining college football, and how to fix it?
            NBA's brilliant strategy for beginning the playoffs with drama,
        two wonderful dogs;   why I moved to Columbus in May 2022,
        two years after I was finding good homes for my dog and our
        family-house items (trying to give away more, throw away less)
        and then for me with a great new home in my old city, Madison:
