His contributions as an author include articles and books for educators, books for children, and a leadership column for Middle Ground magazine. Two recent books (Incentive Publications) include Because You Teach (a 2006 book/CD of innovative staff development activities) and Middle School Matters (a 2007 book/CD of engaging classroom learning activities). “That’s What I Need!
