as formed to implement the Tucker vision in 1993.

Hello Everyone,
I am once again tackling some 20 boxes of OBE information that has recently
come into my possession. The boxes hold a wealth of information that I
would like to share. Some of it is for your information only and other parts
I hope will encourage a dialog among the many "loop" members.
The first is a 1994 post from a Washington State source. The post is a list
of the "players" in education reform up to that time and what was know about
them and their involvement. If any of you know that the information I have
posted on any of these people is not correct, please let me know so I may
correct my records.
Let's add to the list and make a bibliography of all the "players." As you
can see there are some names that aren't mentioned often and some names that
are missing. Let us all research our files, at our connivance and add to
these names as well as adding additional names, such as Bill Spady, James
Hunt, Mario Cuomo, William Daggett and anyone else that we can connect with
the different programs. Some of this has been done in chart form, but I
haven't seen a complete list of who these people are, where they came from
and how they are inter-connected through committees and forums. I think that
information would be valuable.
If everyone will post what they can gleen form their research and post it to
the loop, I will print it and compile it into a readable format for everyone
to use.
Enjoy --- BET
