Lifelong newspaperman Rufus Woods provides a uniquely positive perspective on the pathways to a better educational system. Woods has been passionate about education his entire career and he has seen the good and the bad. Through the mental discipline of appreciative inquiry, Woods has developed a slate of positive and inspiring ideas on how to improve our current systems. Overarching philosophies like replacing "problem mentalities" with strengths-based approaches and improving our assessment systems combine with concrete concepts such as building better relationships with local media to the benefit of schools and seeking out proven practices, like those identified in CEE's Outliers Study, that have real impacts on student outcomes and wellness.
Rufus Woods is publisher emeritus of The Wenatchee World, a publication founded by his grandfather, Rufus Woods Sr. He continues to write regular opinion columns on the "Art of Community" which you can find HERE.
