You may have noticed some silence from the FireEducator.com web site. While it was unintentional, I wanted to address it for all of our readers.
Many of you know that I was working on a Bachelor’s degree from Benedictine University and put a lot of the work on the site on hold. I’ve elected to continue working towards a Master’s in Public Administration @ Governor’s State University.
It was my goal to turn FireEducator.com into a magazine style blog that would unite safety educators worldwide. Unfortunately, the time involved in making that a successful effort just is not available right now. However, my passion for public education and desire to turn this site into a resource is not gone. In fact, it is renewed and moving forward.
The blog has a new look that makes it appear more like a blog rather than a magazine. I am hoping that it will become a more personal in nature as I share my efforts, successes, and failures in fire prevention. The move to a blog format over a magazine approach will allow for a less structured environment and hopefully, an easier way to update content more often.
If you’d like to be a guest contributer, please do not hesitate to let me know. I am happy to have as many contributors to site as possible.
Along with this move to a blog format, I do want to remind you of two great resources that exist for sharing ideas and getting help with your public education programs. EPARADE and NFLSE are active discussion lists that have a wealth of information available from other educators like you. If you have not joined these lists already, I highly encourage it.

As always, stay safe and I hope to continue sharing my experiences with you.
