Continuing Education Continuing Education Non-Trad Students Teachers Lifelong Learners From Deb Peterson, your Guide to Continuing Education I've been wanting to write about life stories since I read Stanley Fish's Life Report in his blog last October. I found Fish's response to a challenge by David Brooks fascinating, and have been meaning to take the time to write my own life report. I'm glad I waited. In the meantime, Ron Gross and Sue Salko have written a wonderful new piece for the site about Telling the Stories of Your Life. Ron and Sue teach classes in writing this kind of memoir, and I'm telling you, it makes me wish I lived on Long Island. The good news is that I don't have to live there to participate in the satisfying learnings that take place when you write down your past. Ron and Sue tell us how to go about it, and even how to learn how to teach your own classes in life review.
