In various newspaper and journal articles about Bill, he has been called " A Teacher's Teacher," and America's Favorite Classroom Teacher" -- all because he speaks from his own unique experiences, his own common sense ideas, his own original teaching strategies. He is a regular contributor to Teachers.Net Gazette.

For 30 years Bill has presented district wide staff development programs and seminars throughout the U.S. and Canada. He has spoken to hundreds of thousands of teachers, and has taught fourteen different courses at eighty-six universities including twenty-six consecutive summers at the University of California at Riverside, San Diego, Irvine, Santa Barbara and Davis -- all while maintaining responsibility for junior high classes of "troublemakers" who were rejected by other teachers.

Bill Page was originator, program director, teacher trainer, and demonstration teacher for Project Enable, a six-year research program for middle level at-risk students, funded by the U.S. Office of Education through CEMREL, Peabody College and The Kennedy Child Study Center. He is eminently qualified with the experience, knowledge, expertise, materials, research and success to offer fresh, effective and proven, teaching strategies that assure increased achievement for all students, including those most at risk.

Bill does not present himself as an "expert." He says his college training was worthless. He does not have a masters degree, or graduate courses, and says he "was not contaminated by all that nonsense." Instead, he offers his testimonial as a classroom teacher who discovered his own educational philosophy and arrived at his own teaching concepts and his own successful techniques.

Some of Bill's unique and innovative experiences include these:

• Bill has run "completely individualized classrooms" going from September to June without ever addressing the entire group. And, he has done it at elementary, middle, and high school levels.
• He has gone for many years without giving an F to any student on anything ever and has helped other teachers to do the same.
• He taught a civics class of 527 ninth graders in an auditorium for a year
• Bill taught a completely individualized math class of 93 seventh graders.
• He taught in a "wild" innovative school where they eliminated the halls, walls, bells, classes, grades, report cards, textbooks, schedules, and curriculum and used a teacher controlled, variable, flexible schedule that changed daily.
• He taught in districts of 10,000 teachers, 300 teachers, and five districts in-between.
• He graduated 8th grade from a one room country school with 27 kids in all 8 grades.
