Here's to all having had safe travels home, and thanks to all for participating in what I feel certain is the seed for the next wave of progressive education--by whatever name and whatever shape it may grow into in the future.
For those who haven't seen it yet, here's a link to the story that is in today's Inside Higher Ed: http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2007/10/29/progressive
Also, following up on the ideas about documenting and accessing the history of progressive ed, here is a link provided by Marjorie Strong at the Vermont Historical Society, to a catalog of Tim Pitkin's papers: http://www.vermonthistory.org/arccat/findaid/pitkin.htm. They also have an extensive collection of Pitkin oral history tapes.
Those of you who mentioned archives at other progressive institutions, please either post some information about accessing those collections, or email me and I'll be happy to put together a list of all the sources we turn up.
Having indulged in some much needed rest following the retreat, I haven't summarized any more of the presentations or discussions for the blog yet, and encourage folks to please post your own reflections, summaries, etc. I brought home all the notes on newsprint that we generated, and will take digital pics of those and make them available here over the next several days.

Curious what we all thought of the Inside Higher Ed piece? One thing for sure: we should add comments at the end to counter the negativity of those that are there...
Hope all traveled home safely.
Thanks for an inspiring weekend.
(Deb, I didn't get an invitation to Post, thus the comment. Can you send me one at Mark.Schulman@goddard.edu?)
