		<description><![CDATA[Recently I ran into one of those perennial educational sticky questions that operate on different levels. The question operates on a range from the philosophical to the pragmatic, and, regardless of the level at which the conversation takes place, emotions can fly high. The question takes several forms, but basic variations are, “Can everything be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently attended a panel on continuing education. One of the questions at the center of conversation had to do with effective models for continuing education programs. Some sound ideas were shared, but many missed the mark, educationally speaking. Whether we design a program for continuing education or any other educational event we will do [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 1990 I was asked to design a course for Trinity College in their adult education program (yes, I’m still tossing out files. I’m doing pretty good on this New Year’s Resolution no. 7. Not so much on the others). This was a degree completion course for adults in mid-career and mid-life. The project of [...]]]></description>

The comprehensive survey yielded a list of thirty-four distinct program “goals” educational leaders wanted [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Throwing out some old files and materials (New Year’s Resolution no. 7) I stumbled across an old final exam from a course I offered over two decades ago when I was teaching adjunctively. Reviewing the course material I was struck at how clunky the course was. Whoever let me loose on those poor graduate students [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been observing several persons in the process of making decisions. Some of the decisions are personal in nature (quitting one job to take another, ending or starting a relationship, going back to school, moving). Others pertain to leaders making organizational or institutional decisions (dealing with employees, closing a program, dealing with a crisis). In [...]]]></description>

These teachers were in a teaching in-service seminar I gave some years ago (almost a decade ago!).

		<description><![CDATA[I often challenge Christian educators that we need to stop giving mere lip service to the importance of Christian education in our churches. It’s not enough to preach its critical importance in helping people grow in faith. It’s not enough to urge leaders to get serious about providing effective Christian education in our congregations.

		<description><![CDATA[I had an interesting conversation with a local church minister who expressed frustration about his congregation’s failure to live fully into its possibility. That’s not an uncommon frustration for pastors and local church leaders. But I’ve found it helpful to make a distinction between possibility and potential, between what is theoretically possible and what is [...]]]></description>
