WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) – Schools (click here) will begin this fall evaluating how well kindergarteners can read under a bill Governor Walker signed into law today.
The goal of the “Read to Lead” initiative is to ensure students can read at or above grade level by the time they reach the 3rd grade. The legislation will spend up to $800,000 on the reading assessment.
Walker returned to Franklin elementary school in Wausau to the sign the legislation in the same library where he read last May to third graders from the Dr. Seuss book “Oh! The Places You'll Go!”...
This is a bit off topic since we all know how intimately important Dr. Seuss is to the US Congress; but, the former chancellor of UNCW, Dr. Leutze was admired by all on campus. Why? Because he respected research. Research is conducted across any discipline that exists. He understood research because even though he was chancellor he conducted his own research. He was one of the most prolific chancellors within the UNC system. In many ways, it was he that was demanding of the university that drove it to being seventh in the world in marine biology and ninth in the USA for business.
There are leaders and then there are people by which leading comes as second nature to the person they are.
As a matter of fact, long before a water supply was of concern to the country due to global warming and drought, Dr. Leutze took the warnings of his scientists seriously and formed a committee to explore what global warming meant to North Carolina. I think the documentary regarding the initiative of this committee appeared on public television. Their findings and recommendations were implemented quite some time ago. North Carolina has done well considering the drought Georgia has experienced. The Leutze policies have sustained for decades, that is because he knows good research and is able to articulate it and document it to benefit the people of North Carolina.
Maybe it seems like decades. The video came out in 2003 after their work was completed.

Narrator: James R. Leutze
Dr. Leutze didn't believe in handing off important work to a hired hand, he conducted it himself. One has to know what one is talking about in order to narrate a documentary such as this. The author has to be able to formulate a premises before any research can be conducted and concluded.
How well published is Scott Walker to date?
